 @a82a1f79 so you despise rulers making up rules. It's a good start. Next, figure out why they rule you, measure your value, weigh your risk, make pleas in court to enforce their rule, and beancount your property. Funny thing is that both communists and capitalists do everything I just mentioned. They just fight over who gets to rule you

 @e0fcec40 A Constitutional Republic which is what we live in lends towards a Capitalist economy. Capitalism is the best out of all the worst forms of government as by all examples over the last century. The problem is that Capitalism has a propensity to be corrupted and turn into a corptocracy and fascism, the combining of private business and government which is where we are now. We do not currently live in a true capitalist society anymore when the government interferes with private business.
