   @atyh It's only a free market if the rich can fail.

     I no longer believe that the phrase Free Market Capitalism is anything but a subtle form of brainwashing.
     I dont believe a free market and capitalism are the same thing.
     I dont think a free market can survive capitalism.
     The goals of a free market are entirely different from the goals of a capitalist market.
     Capitalisms sole goal is the accumulation of capital for the purpouse of ever increasing leverage. With this system, there is an ever decreasing number of people benefiting.
     With a free market, the voluntary and free exchange of value between people, (which does not always have to be money) does not reduce the number of people participating, because it is not seeking to control. It is seeking only to exchange.
     
     Any system that decreases decentralization, and reduces participation, whether political or economic, is a form which leads to tyranny.
