    Unregulated capitalism has never been tried and it’s probably the solution to all the problems with our current system.

      Yes, it has

      Edit: Here’s an even better example

        That’s not capitalism. Not in the slightest.

        Companies with company town usually paid their employees with a company issued money that was only good at the company stores.

        They usually sold with inflated prices.

        This isn’t pure capitalism.

          What makes you think unregulated capitalism won’t result in these monopolies?

          And the Sturlungs?

            I read the article and it didn’t really explain how a forty-four year period in Iceland in 1220 has anything to do with this conversation.

              It was the medieval equivalent of anarcho-capitalism.

      This sounds like insanity. You think the Jeff Besos’ of the world are going to play fair when capitalism has no regulations?

        If the people decide they don’t like Bezos’ company they would use a new one and he wouldn’t have a leg up on the other ones like he does now.

        The oligarchy system is not what I’m looking for, it’s a small group of people given control of companies as favors not organically growing by being the best.

          oligarchy is the natural result of unfettered capitalism – capitalism rewards profit, not merit

            Do you think hot dog man was the best person to run Russia’s largest private army?

            No, he was Putin’s caterer and was given a plush posting because of it.

            That’s not capitalism.

        They have individual states where the economy is bigger than full European countries.

        I’d say they are pretty successful at it.

            They could move to the states if they work hard.

              But why would anyone want to do that when all Americans are miserable because of the hyper capitalist tyranny they exist under?

                The United States hosted, by far, the highest number of immigrants in the world in 2020. That year, there were over 50 million people born outside of the States residing in the country. Germany and Saudi Arabia followed behind at around 16 and 13 million, respectively.

      It seems you’ve come from a time line where we got rid of the food regulations and you’ve injested far too much lead.
