The show did. Rather often. Hell it was even in the movie.

Really think if Bobby Kennedy turned out to be president that Ronald Reagan would ever be elected?

I hate this man so much.

Mount and Blade Warband, CKII, and EUIV are all up there extremely highly but I guess Warband due to less dlc.

Least is tougher. Probably a couple of NES stinkers from way back would be in the running. Though lord knows I have games in my steam library I’ve yet to play. Hard to say.

Not even close to implied.

No

They didn’t say anything remotely close to that…

Trying to eradicate a people’s culture is absolutely a form of genocide kiddo.

You just described capitalism.

No it doesn’t. Makes perfect sense.

I don’t necessarily agree with you that the original capitalist thinkers just didn’t think far enough ahead to understand how their system would result in monopolies. That seems extremely generous of you and I don’t buy it. However it’s utterly moot. If they didn’t see it doesn’t change the fact that it does inevitably happen. So that’s not even an argument worth having.

As for your other argument, no still true. Even in systems that have tried to patch the gaping holes and prop up the collapsing frame of capitalism monopolies still inevitably form. Look around. Most of the biggest monopolistic companies of today come from nations that tried to regulate monopolies and failed utterly. They didn’t fail because they were so incredibly corrupt themselves, they failed because capitalism is a corrupting influence. It naturally leads toward corruption that destroys all regulation. That’s why any form of regulated capitalism is doomed to fail.

Hell the mere fact that regulated capitalism even exists in any form is itself proof that capitalism results in monopoly isn’t it? Otherwise why the need for the regulations?

Not personally but I have no problem with the concept in general.

How about instead you limit the banker salaries?

Hold on, no, you don’t get to just make such a huge broad sweeping claim as no one will ever move away from capitalism like it’s an universally agreed upon truth.

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.

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

Socialism is not capitalist by any definition of any word ever. What an absurd thing to say.

No the problem is you asking the wrong question. I gave you the definition of a capitalist. But what you seem to want is a definition of capitalism.

In the most basic terms capitalism is when private ownership, ie those with the most capital, control the means of production.

Brother you just equated capitalism with the concept of being able to purchase things. You really think you have any grounds to talk about using broad terms? I mean honestly?

None of that is capitalism.

I think the better way to describe yourself is poorly read.
