Re: Freedom!
leaving the market side unchecked is how slavery came about
Slavery came about because people were either party members (white) or they weren't. Slavery came about because a system overlooked human nature (communism and socialism both overlook this as their core philosophy) which then placed no value at all on non-party members (non-whites).
The system you're railing against isn't capitalism, it's just that you can't see it for your entrenched beliefs.
Capitalism has saved more lives throughout history than any other economic system ever devised. It remains fundamentally the best and only realistic choice for the progress of humanity. Pretending otherwise, in favour of a system that has failed everywhere and ever time it's been tried, is delusion.
