    Socialism has been tried many times in all forms but pure unregulated capitalism hasn’t yet.

      Pure unregulated Capitalism can’t exist though, there’s no such thing as a “pure” system to begin with.

        The impure regulations corrupt the free hand of the market.

          Is the market some form of holy spirit? Regulation comes from the market, not despite it.

            Regulation opposes the market.

              Regulation restricts competition, and is a natural result of companies using accumulated Capital to institutionalize their own positions and maintain a given edge. Capitalism erases its own existence.

                I think we’re both saying the same thing.

                  Maybe, but you phrase it like we can have unregulated Capitalism for any period longer than an afternoon, and I’m explaining why we can’t.

                    We’ve never tried it so we’re both bouncing hypotheticals off the wall.

      I wish I had the confidence to just say whatever shit I pulled out of thin air like that

        It’s a well known opinion in McCartney-Lennonism.

      Every single form of socialism has been tried?

      Even Christian anarchism? Even Posadism? Even Queer anarchism?

      Also, your answer is anarcho-capitalism?

      Oh yeah? List the forms.

        In this case wouldn’t it make more sense to list the forms it hasn’t been tried in?
