Perhaps you should watch a sporting event that is devoid of competition, or perhaps you should determine which species does not compete to pass on their genes.
A free market economy (true capitalism) is not either/or systems, as such it is both collaboration-based and competition-based.
You are just as misguided as the technocrats that want to strip humanity of its freedoms by suppressing their human natures.
Another totally misguided effort. Perhaps you should finally get around to reading some Austrian economics and appreciate that our "capitalism" is centrally planned by a collaboration-based One World Government that is finalizing their technocommunism dystopia as you obsess with terms and systems you are clearly wholly ignorant of.
PS they win because of ignorance and division. I'm trying to in collaboration-based way educate you.
How about next time you fornicate you lecture the ballsack to not eject competitive sperm, but, rather, for them to swim in a collaboration-based manner?
I write solutions on my substack daily; ie: do NOT comply.
Yes, my first response as well. There seems to be this mistaken view that if we just get rid of Capitalism maybe everything would work out. While trade and locally-based economies may make sense and work out the rest of all the "isms" seem to fail and fail dramatically. After all the United States Capitalism began with what may be viewed as a corporate takeover of "America" initiated by East India Company and later by the Virginia Company. The alliance between governments, corporations and institutions are the enemies of we the people everywhere. After what is incorrectly called the colonization of "America" it wasn't long at all before the invaders had taken over the form of currency (wampum beads) and caused a runaway inflation. I can't see that anything would be different if a bunch of dedicated Communists had been the colonists.
Interestingly, without getting into a "noble savage" argument, some earlier cultures excelled at having elder councils who helped funnel competition into healthier forms. Art, music, spirituality, gambling and other pursuits helped stave off the occasional wars. I will take occasional wars any day over what we have now. Can't help but think it was better to be a Neanderthal over a modern human in the modern state run by kleptocratic, war-mongering psychopaths.
The pilgrims attempted this collaboration-based socialism and it took less than a season to destroy that little experiment and they reverted back to that which works.
Bitcoin was created as a competition-based solution, and is the competitor to CBDCs and state violence, and yet the author is always asking for some Satoshi's on the daily. And she probably does not even understand that the BTC blockchain only functions because of PoW which is itself pure competition to solve math puzzles for remuneration.
Sure but Bitcoin, whatever the advantages, is still a currency and open to whatever "ism" is in fashion. The problem isn't the currency just as guns, hammers and chain saws are tools and not the murderer. Whether it is wampum beads, sea shells, trade items, labor exchange or Bitcoin we are in trouble without a vast and massive cultural change. We have met the enemy and it is us. No nation, no form of economy, no currency, no form of politics can save us from this. The founding ancestors of the United States got it partly right until the Civil War but the parts they got wrong were serious enough to reap the consequences we inherit today.
It may be my own ignorance or terms I am not familiar with but.... the direction the Western world is headed towards does not look to me as what I understand as communism (mind you, true communism may have never existed or only works "on paper"). To me it looks more like fascism, totalitarianism.
But we may just be talking about the same thing using different terms.
A free-market system never existed or existed only "on paper": namely, in Adam Smith's book The Wealth of Nations. It was a model that existed only in Adam Smith's imagination.
From the beginnings of this thing way back i have felt it is fascism/totalitarianism. Don't think it is unique to any nation state, culture or economic system. It is planetary and it fits all the classic definitions you cite.

You're a pompous git.
Next post, try to include solutions with your vitriol.
p.s. I'm just trying to educate you
Ad hominem and yet no argument.
How about next time you fornicate you lecture the ballsack to not eject competitive sperm, but, rather, for them to swim in a collaboration-based manner?

"I'm trying to in collaboration-based way educate you." English skills courtesy of Capitalism.
And from which econ system are you criticizing my purposely convoluted syntax?
Did you type that from Venezuela perchance?
"And from which econ system are you criticizing my purposely convoluted syntax?"
I'm looking forward to seeing something from the "Smartest Guy in the World".
Speaking of wankers wanking, see your reply re your solution "do not comply"

Time to get rigorously educated and honest.
Just a neutral question: if the owners of the Internet turn it off, how much is your Bitcoin worth?
About the same as your bank account, though when it is turned back on your BTC will remain as it was prior to the blackout.
Sure but Bitcoin, whatever the advantages, is still a currency and open to whatever "ism" is in fashion.

Your first paragraph of one anecdote about pilgrims says and proves nothing.
There is such a thing as healthy competition as long as it does no harm.

...wow, I really should have read your comment first, my post (if you want to give it a look) strongly echoes your sentiments.
Will check it out. Who say's there thinking isn't contagious?
Austrian economics - oh, please!
