Short answer is yes, all forms of politics and societal organisation have been tried

BUT they have always been tried on faulty foundations

IF the foundation of a civilised society is the exchange and storage of human value aka money, then it’s corrupt, and it doesn’t matter what you build on top of it… it’s a castle in the sand

Capitalism will lead to crony capitalism then fascism and totalitarianism… communism will just get to totalitarianism quicker

Democracy and all forms of politics are created to divide people and ultimately lead to totalitarian control

The flow of human value is absolute power and absolute power corrupts absolutely right?

Until now… now we got bitcoin

Anarchism and libertarianism are frameworks for civil and sovereign organisation… we just need to build them out on Bitcoin

is that a question? if so, I reject it.

How about this one:

What would it seem like if it did seem like real capitalism was being tried in an economic system?

🙃

I'm honestly leaning more towards accepting the more pejorative definition of capitalism, which libertarians would usually refer to with terms like merchantilism, crony capitalism or corporatism. To me it just seems to be the more popular definition and has a greater connection to the historical period in which the ideas were formed. Switching to a new term to describe what we are aiming for could help differentiate it from simply defendind the status quo.

The word capitalism was invested by socialists. Why should anyone support the "-ism" of capital itself? I'd rather talk about free markets, voluntarism, or respecting other people's property.
