Interesting, I must say this makes some sense. On the otherhand I'm quite seriously opposed to wealth redistribution of any kind. While this isn't a major communist situation, it is as you said a welfare state.
Historically capitalism is cyclic. Inequality grows over time until people are fed up and the system breaks, and then repeat and things are good for awhile. Perhaps one solution would be purposefully resetting the cycle from time to time. An occasional slight redistribution which gives the necessary boost to those in poverty to have some kind of fighting chance.
Its probably a bad idea as most socialistic ones are but eh it sounds interesting, who knows.
- lovich 9y agoIn a conversation pointing to actual benefits from a socialistic system, your response is to say they are all bad and you oppose them anyway? How is that not just a dogmatic response, instead of a viewpoint backed up by reason?
- notfromhere 9y agoIf you want to look at a society where wealth isn't redistributed in some fashion, look to pre 20th century Europe. There was no hope or opportunity for most during those times.
