One problem I can't seem to solve with capitalism in general is that I rarely see the people who are actually providing or creating the value being the ones to profit. I haven't managed to figure out a capitalistic system that ultimately doesn't end up being in favor of parasites and malignant tumors.
Regulation encourages the rent-seeking behaviour, what we have now is Crony Capitalism or Crapitalism which is more akin to fascism than true capitalism.
In today's system, gains are privatised and losses are socialised.
Capitalism does not work if businesses are not allowed to fail and pay the consequences of not providing a valuable product or service to the market.
The problem of force can be solved with arbitration and reputation based conflict resolution.
If your reputation and respect in the market can net you $$$$ in profits for providing a service, then stealing $$ by being dishonest is nowhere near profitable. Crypto and real-time audits with smart contracts go a very long way to ensuring that arbitration is honest.
Nearly everyone has a problem with anarchy, as it's been sold by the media as chaos.
All markets and people have "problems". The crux of the debate is this: Who can solve problems more efficiently; a small group of "elected" officials (elections are media popularity contests) contained by "regulation" (competition stifling)
OR collections of motivated individuals with stake in the game (their savings), bound only by the risk of failure that they are willing to bear.
People are STUPID and individuals are SMART. It all comes down to mob psychology. Statism results in an apathetic attitude and dependence on other people.
I'll never believe in democracy unless someone can convince me that humans can be motivated to thoroughly research the political parties (hooray, we'll throw a BIGGER party if you vote for us! Don't sweat the debt!) when they are not
directly impacted. Political change happens slowly and ain't nobody got time for that.
People care what affects them NOW. When you vote in a democratic election there is no way that you can consider society at large, predict the future, evaluate the profit-potetial (or missed opportunities) of each option, conduct interviews to ascertain foreign policy or perform background checks on your potential rulers. You vote for who you (are told) will improve your life the most.
"Newspaper says he'll give builders $$$, so I'll vote for him and lobby against anyone offering equal treatment, coz im a builder"
Would you want the popular kids at highschool running your life???
Capitalism acknowledges this fact and aligns the incentives for an overall outcome of progress and success, as determined by the choices made by
individuals within society.
This may be a little off-topic but in a forum of a freedom-centric platform I would like others to understand that anarchy and freedom
is possible.
