If Communism is rule by a centralized authority that determines all social policy, then Capitalism is a gateway to Communism.
In any Capitalistic economy, the largest corporations will continue to expand, and take over smaller corporations.. In time the corporations will have more power than the Government, and they will make policy behind the scenes.
Once the large corporations have all of the Power, they use the State as a proxy, and after a time Capitalism makes the entrance of Communism much more feasible.
Agorism is Superior to Capitalism. Keep the Free market, but reject central currency, and economic controls.
The State may still be governed as a Monarchy, with an Agorist market... Though the Monarch should have limited power in the market, except for in (actually) illegal activities.
Agorism does not imply Anarchism. It primarily limits the States power in taxation, and usury.
I no longer think deregulating the market is the solution we need
People are also free to live beside anyone that they wish, to create communities including, or excluding anyone that they wish.
Regulation of the market is what makes it almost impossible for businesses to refuse to hire "protected classes".
Regulation of the market is what makes it easy for Large corporations to bully small companies.
Regulation is what makes it very difficult for small companies to set up a business without 6 million license.
Regulation is what limits small / community farmers markets from setting up shop on private property.
Regulation is what allows a 50% tax rate on employees, and businesses.
Regulation is what forces companies and individuals to accept Usury currency.
Why are you against deregulation? What problems do you see coming from it?
