>>14201437Of all the goofy ideologies, real capitalism is the only one that truly has never been tried. The $200 is an accelerant, a tool to end the game and complete the conditions of the rules. We frequently encounter the argument tha socialism is a default means of maintaining a community, and by God they're right, and that should be the most scathing condemnation of all. We have a real surplus male problem thanks to Asia. Truth is we've always had such things. The usual way to deal with it was border skirmishes. Maybe your hungry pieces grabbed you some territory, maybe not, either way it kept them busy and gave you a chance to profit. Better than they become highwaymen! Nepotism infects every system, no matter how well-designed. Terrible part of true capitalism, to do away with human philias, it requires and inhuman, utterly disinterested and immanent in its totality paradox god: the omnipresent interventionist god of deism. A tireless supraintellect with one mandate: keep the plates spinning. Monopoly isn't capitalist. Nothing is. Yet. And yet the rough beast draws close to the manger. The Tesla™ bearing it to Bethlehem has broken down 8 times, been replaced 5 times and has a recall on it, but it's almost there. And even then it likely won't be Real Capitalism. Even the paradox god will require priests to maintain it.
