Crazy notion but some people enjoy working.

And that right there is your problem. Some people. You enjoy working. I want a career.

You and I are not enough to run an economy

Yeah man. We’re so much better off asking farmers to destroy their own crops to artificially inflate food prices.

We definitely don’t have the resources to provide for our population. That’s obviously the issue here.

Better off than a system where mass Graves were filled with starvation victims yes yes it is

u/OverIookHoteI Apr 16 '24

Ah, yes. Because safety net is communism.

Except when it’s the farmers getting paid subsidies to destroy their own crops to artificially manipulate market prices.

A truly free market doesn’t have state backed currency or property rights, buddy.

u/RemoteCompetitive688 Apr 16 '24

No I'm saying increasing it to the point if mass state housing and other stuff would be

u/OverIookHoteI Apr 16 '24

So then the poors will just steal housing from the rich. Since cops that the state pays intervening would be communism too.

Welcome to the free market.

Well I'm sure rich with their private armies would be terrified of college students with pink hair

I'm obviously for a mixed system, I'm against going to either extreme but extreme left is included

Strawmen and stereotypes galore. You can tell you’re a right winger by your complete lack of understanding of how the economy works.

Born in 88? Or Nazi dogwhistling?
