    Socialism has been tried many times in all forms but pure unregulated capitalism hasn’t yet.

      Pure unregulated Capitalism can’t exist though, there’s no such thing as a “pure” system to begin with.

        The impure regulations corrupt the free hand of the market.

          Is the market some form of holy spirit? Regulation comes from the market, not despite it.

            Regulation opposes the market.

              Regulation restricts competition, and is a natural result of companies using accumulated Capital to institutionalize their own positions and maintain a given edge. Capitalism erases its own existence.

                I think we’re both saying the same thing.

                  Maybe, but you phrase it like we can have unregulated Capitalism for any period longer than an afternoon, and I’m explaining why we can’t.

                    We’ve never tried it so we’re both bouncing hypotheticals off the wall.

        It’s a well known opinion in McCartney-Lennonism.

        In this case wouldn’t it make more sense to list the forms it hasn’t been tried in?
