I'm a fan of monogamy with multiple sexual partners.

Gotta be able to get one sexual partner first bud

That’s some copium if I’ve ever seen it

Ghodsee, an acclaimed ethnographer and professor of Russian and East European Studies, spent years researching what happened to women in countries that transitioned from state socialism to capitalism. She argues here that unregulated capitalism disproportionately harms women, and that we should learn from the past. By rejecting the bad and salvaging the good, we can adapt some socialist ideas to the 21st century and improve our lives.

You cite an opinion piece out of Reason magazine and another written by a CATO fellow?

Come on, dude. Do better.

What am I rebutting? You linked to an opinion piece and a slander.

[-] rchive@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

They're both articles making arguments. The fact that you don't like who the arguments came from isn't very persuasive nor particularly interesting.

Teaching the controversy worked so well when we were debating Evolutionary Theory and Climate Change.

anarcho-capitalism is not the only form of capitalism that exists

Anarchist Capitalism is a delusion. You're always going to have someone with a bigger gun telling other people what to do. That's a de facto state whether Peter Thiel and Murray Rothbard want to admit it or not.

Once you sever democratic control of capital and allow landlords the freedom to raise rents, the ball only continues to roll downhill. People will keep looking for chinks in the regulatory armor (or create them through brute force) until the market system collapses. There is no "regulated capitalism" that endures continuous contact with the corruptive influence of the profit motive.
