The legitimate role of government
Also
Complete free market has never been tried
And no one actually wants it to be
And never will
because it will fail
Yes
But at the same time
A large degree of it
Is absolutely necessary
Oh, do not get me wrong. I agree, capitalism is the best system we have made so far
True communism has never been tried Kappa
A 100% pure free market will end up being one mega corp monopoly on everything
I just think the best thing we have is also shit
in a lot of ways
It isnt perfect
But at the same time
bascially wall-e
It's uplifted
Such a vast majority of people
out of abject poverty
increase technology
innovation
quality of life etc
Yeah, that is the good thing. The main problem with capitalism is how unstable it is over the long term
That's the thing
with monopolies forming and what now
It's stable long term
Short term
it appears unstable
It has peaks and valleys
Recessions and what not
But long term
Absolutely effective
Depends how long we are talking
Well I confess im only really speaking about America
Yeah, I always assume that when talking with people online Kappa
The couple hundred years
I think Canada's system works. It will never reach US levels of economy, but it works. Problem is our culture
I think it's done really well considering some of what it upholds
But it's begun the downward spiral
Europe is already going down
And to some degree america is too
The question is
With your political and economic system
Are you able to reduce the size and authority of government to enough of a degree
To stop it from totally changing everything the nation stood for
I think the Canadian government size is fine. Just needs to get its head out of its ass
I think a government
That can imprison its populous
For saying offensive things
is too powerful
Any state can do that, else the state is functionally powerless and thus, worthless
Not every state can do that
It is more a matter of would they do it
For example
America cant?
It is explicitly forbidden to do so
US can absolutely do shit like that to some degree
So long as it operates under the confines of the constitution
Yes we can Gent, you just don't get kept on US soil
>Thinking that is gent
they spend the period of time they can legally detain you moving you off US soil
Gent?
He confused you with another redboi
Same colour
I fucking tell you people
colour is hard
Red is the best color
>being murican, using color
Kappa
Filthy americans tbh
How's the lumberjack business coming along Kappa
I wish
The Kappa emote
