Capitalism: The Foundation of Human Life and Morality
#11
RE: Capitalism: The Foundation of Human Life and Morality
Actually the free market kind of evens people out to the middle class rather than having extreme wealth gaps. All the big mega corporations support big government. Having a big violent monopoly in the centre of everything creates a huge power vacuum which means the poor stay or get poorer, and the rich, buddies of the government get richer.

You can see this in socialist countries, all the big government countries have huge wealth gaps.

Kim Jong un for example, is estimated at 5$ billion. Hugo Chavez is also a billionaire. A lot of people in China's Communist party are... you guessed it, millionaires and billionaires. Whereas the average citizens of these countries have a very, very low standard of living, while people working in the violent monopoly cartel get rich stealing from the people.

How do you propose these individuals be dealt with in an anarchist society?

The people will decide, not me. Probably DRO courts.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
