I’m tempted to not reply and validate your statement.

Free protein kind king!

I found this post using active and basically missed the conversation, so use new if you want to actually engage with the fellow lemms.

Their housing market reflects the efforts to avoid the place too.

Elon Musk worked illegally on a student visa and faced concerns he would be “deported” when he started life in the United States, a bombshell report revealed Saturday.

The frustrating thing about reading these things is always the lack of empathy from those who have a first hand understanding on the matter.

Hmmm blank comments after removing French language

Switched!

For French language removal?

Omg yes pls

I did notice that recently and am planning to move

I believe in you

I wouldn’t say interchangeable, but they are not far removed. I agree with the dictionary definition that it is a system of private property with trade in a free market. I would personally add that it is motivated by greed as that is what I observe. A company that is successful will eventually want to grow. Perhaps it might turn to sabotaging the free and open market as it helps it secure its own profits. In that case it will resemble feudalism somewhat. This is based on what I have read on history and what I see on current events around me today.

But to your title. Capitalism does not say anything about cronyism being bad, nor to discourage it. I think you just really like capitalism and need to rationalize the negative stuff away because you are aware it is a bad look. I understand the mindset. I had it growing up conservative and being a member of the church.

Unfortunately, most would rather stroke their ego then explore alternative ways of thinking.

I mean there are some pretty fair criticisms of capitalism in the sub. You also did not provide your own definition of capitalism up top either, so we can only speculate what you think it is and we can only answer what we observe it to be.

I think I made my case on why I think the way I think.

I mean we can talk about what it is or is not by some definition, but that is similar to tankies saying this or that is not real communism. The reality is that that is what we observe. A big part of capitalism is personal economic gain and nepotism, monopoly, and other un competitive practices are conducive to those goals; further it is powerless to stop them.

King also needs a few competent officers, but the highest management needs to be loyal. A corporation works similarly. When is the last time a CEO reported their own pollution or other wrong doing as a company?

Is nepotism enshrined in the capitalist idea?

Unofficially. People start business for their benefit. Hiring family members is a good way to keep most of the money in the family. Similar with making deals with close freinds; like hiring your plumber buddy at the apartment you own and trying to pass the bill to the tenants or something. The thing is that nepotism just makes sense in a lot of places.

Hollow Knight is a total work of art.

Pretending to work is the most relatable thing he’s ever done. Hope he loses tho.
