Whether capitalism without competition is still capitalism is a matter of decades of debate.
because the word “capitalism” just doesn’t have a coherent definition
Free trading of goods and services on markets has been a thing for pretty much the entire existence of human civilization; so have property rights. If those are the things that define “capitalism”, it’s extremely difficult to imagine a world without it; if they aren’t, then which are?
idk, on another occasion they suspected that a member of the German government might be a vehicle with an internal combustion engine himself
That’s nothing, a German satirical website reported just today that Rolex was presenting a watch with a gasoline engine.
…and a year ago they reported that people were switching from e-books to books with internal combustion engines.
That election was two years ago.
I don’t agree with everything, not even most things, said by the kinds of “social justice” types of people you are trying to parody in this.
But in the world we currently live in, there are way worse problems to focus on than that. In a world where governments around the world are openly trying to exclude young people from communicating freely on the Internet, and in many others increasing their control over it too, talking about people yelling at other people for not being “woke” enough sounds like a complete distraction.
Also I see that this community has a “no politics” rule, so I’m going to report this for violating that.
OK, that’s an interesting analysis and certainly one possible way to think about historical developments; the parts that are unclear are (1) whether this is trying to argue that the transition from feudalism to capitalism might be a bad thing (not something I’ve seen argued a lot) and (2) what, then, is socialism/communism?
