Free market capitalism is a mirage

in #steemit7 years ago

Can we have free market capitalism if the competitors don't have equal chances to win?

Can a Bangladeshi slave worker who barely makes enough to feed his family compete with a westerner who has access to internet, banking, salary, welfare and all other perks of the so called "first world"?

Can a middle-aged middle income black woman compete with a billionaire white male for the presidency of anything?

What if we all had the same knowledge and there were no classified information?

What if we could build our own communities based on available resources and performance instead of having governments dictate what the rules are?

If you and your neighbors would be able to start your own economy based on local markets wouldn't you want your community to strive?

Wouldn't you try everything to prevent wars against the neighbors of your community and instead cooperate and trade with them?

The thing you might not know, these ideas aren't new nor are they untested. We saw movements of anarchism in Catalonia and Ukraine for example. Unfortunately they where trying to change the rules instead of playing there own game.*

On the other hand if you have central governments who dictate that you need to pay x amount just so they can protect you from your neighbors doesn't that breed violence and corruption? Can you abolish such an institution?

Of course not, they make the rules, you can't change them. But you can start playing a new game then governments become obsolete.

So I plead for us to strive towards a parallel economy that cuts out middlemen like governments and let's us built communities with our own rules and leaders. We would care for our communities.

On the other hand it would be much much harder to make decisions that affect billions of people. If that is a particular good thing , well I don't know, what do you think? After all its the system we live in.
