tl;dr - true capitalism results in economic singularities and infinite wealth for everyone. that’s why i like capitalism as a leftist.

to get us started, my definition of capitalism is “unregulated competition”.

i ask because… …i really like capitalism. but i’m a leftist.

i am someone who has been called numerous 6 letter words my entire life by people who think i’m a socialist or communist. but i’m really not.

it’s funny really, those calling me a f##### can’t handle real competition. especially at this point in a planetary species’ development. where nimbleness, flexibility and cooperation among economic partners is more profitable than most government intervention. obviously.

government is meant to ensure security, authenticity and veracity of economic claims. not limit markets with patents or unreasonable prohibitions.

i think authentic capitalism is wonderful and the ideal choice for a free society.

    What’s your definition of capitalism? What exactly is it about capitalism that you enjoy that is specific to capitalism?
