      I guess he means organically as opposed to led by ideologists like the Soviet Union.

          Or you’re just so extremely in love with your ideas that you’ve become completely uninterested in basic facts that vaguely conflict with your vision of reality.

          It was influential, but capitalism had essentially already come about in a limited form.

          And his stated goal was competitive markets forever, not absolute monarchy with more steps. People dunk on conservatives by quoting that book.

          You’re so far off the deep end that it doesn’t make sense trying to rebut you, so I ask questions that have easy answers to try and discuss something more productive. As usual with folks who think they’re very smart though, you don’t want to answer because it’s not on your terms.

          Take a class in politics. Or hell just read a book.

                You think the concept of monopolies is a non-existent strawman character of capitalism?

                  I don’t think monopolies are the “end goal of capitalism”, nor the rest of what he said.

                  What a weird question to ask in the context of the conversation. I noid you genuinely think I said something that implied that?

                    I think you’re partially right. Because the end goal of capitalism is fascism. But then again fascism often does consist of monopolies. So glass half full.

                    You talked about his original point, that was literally his first post. That was his Original Point. That monopolies are the end goal of capitalism.

                    Which they absolutely are, you’re just legitimately wrong. Capitalism inevitably ends in monopolies that’s why we have to break monopolies to artificially constrain capitalism. I mean honestly I’m flabbergasted that this has to be explained to you. Cuz just look around you. Name one industry in which that’s not happening. It’s inevitable.
