The mechanistic reasoning might be plausible, but is there any actual examples of a modern capitalist society regressing back to some form of feudalism to any significant degree?
The point where I'd be worried is when a single company is the majority of a country's GDP or has complete control over the government. The only examples I can think of that even get close to these possibilities are South Korea's Chaebols or Hong Kong's corporate voting block.
Fuck Reddit
What about capitalism requires infinite growth? And what does it require infinite growth in? What happens when growth stagnates in a capitalist system? Does it suddenly not become capitalist anymore?
So you are defining an ambiguous term in order to better criticise it? That makes sense, but it might not convince people who have different definitions 🤔
Like I for example would consider a Co-Op where the employees own the company / have voting power over how its run to be a part of a capitalist system, hell, I'd even consider someone who makes a living as an artist where they own all their tools to be a part of a capitalist system... although I suppose that could also be considered socialist to some degree because the artist "owns" the means of production?
These definitions are kind of difficult to use...
I don't think pure capitalism as you describe it exists, or if it does its definitely not common.
Huh, I use capitalism solely to refer to the first two 🤔
What is egalitarianism?
Is that a meat-sicle?
Mmmmh feta...
Isn't that like the definition of (clasical) liberalism?
