They're encouraging shoplifting over in /r/socialism... The Art of Shoplifting - Stealing from the bourgeoisie is a victimless crime.

I've read Smith, Friedman, Keynes and Rothbard, I've read multiple books on capitalist economies and have studied leftist ideologies for years. I came to my conclusions through rigorous study and I have a perfectly good understanding of how our current system operates and how a fully free market would operate. If you want consitent arguments, I've got multiple that I could make, but I'm on territory that has audience, like you, who are likely too dogmatic to listen to any coherent argumentation. Mostly I'm here to vent because some people from this piece of shit subreddit harassed me, so I don't care about making an argument.

Though I guess I'll bemuse you for a while, I'll make an argument though I won't respond to any of your counter-arguments.

Capitalism is a mode of production in which inevitably, the rate of return on capital increases, because capital accumulation leads to more capital being accumulated and more capital accumulation means smarter, more accurate ways of doing so. Economies of state, on the other hand, don't always grow, they are often stagnant and sometimes they're in recession. Due to this difference in how economies of states and rate of return on capital function, capitalism that is not strictly regulated will always lead to inequality, because a rate of return larger than the growth of the economy leads to exponential increase in the wealth of those who own capial. Which makes it harder for people without capital to acquire capital, because there will be more people who are increasingly more poor, while there are rich people getting increasingly more rich. So a conclusion can be drawn that free market economies cannot be equal, because they cannot control the rate of return on capital.

Ofc I oversimplify and probably make mistakes here and there, but fuck it, not like it really matters.
