Mercatocracy is literally a criminal system that allows a caste of "people" to commit infinite global crime with no possibility of just trial and punishment. You would have to go back to the Paleolithic to find a state of affairs where the worst of the worst held so much power.
I can't refute your argument because I can't find it in the first place.
Levi Evans
Because it functions on the same principles as Capitalism - money worship, mass employment, consumerism, social terror.
I don't want to revert to a literal subhuman state?

No user I actually agree with you, we need to go back to feudalism / subsistence economy.

So capitalism and communism are out of the mix. I'm assuming that this includes socialism too. What are you shillling for? Some vague, forgotten system like distributism? Or is it just a general "let's not fight n shiet" argument?

OP, our society is the only thing preventing huge motherfuckers like me from bashing your little skull in. Consider yourself lucky to be dominated so tenderly. It is more than you deserve.

I think Capitalism or Socialism would be alright if:
1. Money was not worshiped
2. Government superseded all corporations and markets
3. Money was not 100% imaginary
4. Special laws punished business owners for gross transgressions against human society far beyond normal criminal justice
I don't know what you would call it, Fascist Constitutional Monarchy?
I'm arguing FOR society. The fact that you equate Capitalism with society is very disturbing.
Samuel Hernandez
We should just give the government unlimited power to solve all of our problems for us.
Brandon Hall
I agree. You shouldnt earn things through merit, you shouldnt be rewarded for skills you spent your life working towards. Everyone is equal regardless of skill or ability
notice the only people who defend that are people who are worthless

>we should give unelected unaccountable psychopaths unlimited power to cause them
Michael Sanchez
A profit-based state of affairs is a race to the bottom where the pursuit of personal profit slowly decreases the quality of whatever goods and services your position demands you to provide.
If your only motivation in life is onanism you are the cancer of society and should probably be shot.

You want a Nanny state to protect you from your betters because you are a useless little bitch.

>business owners are some kind of evil boogeyman, we need the government, which is always good and moral, to keep them in check with special laws and courts of justice
Lucas Price
A free market would ruin even the biggest Army in a matter of months. America could realistically be annexed by literally anyone after like 10 years of no regulations.

Yes. Death sentences for them and their families above a certain threshold.

Oh yeah also:
>free market entails almost complete unaccountability for business owners >one of the highest levels of protection that ANY caste of people in known human history has enjoyed if not THE highest >W-w-we're winners guys. Lynched? What do you mean lynched? Why would anyone want to? State-sanctioned rule of law and collective human kindness protects us? N-no we're just that g-good at life, I swear.

Entrenched "bureaucratic elites?" Not possible in my democratic socialism. It's significantly easier to change unfit elected officials than it is to oust cronies who are "legitimate entrepreneurs".

Humanity sucks ass and deserves jack shit. If an alien race came around and fucked our shit up it would serve us right.
Congrats, you're now truly red pilled or whatever retarded movie meme humans are peddling for "understanding a global truth", human "covilization" is unjust, brutish, petty, abusive and tyrannical. Humans fucking suck.

Money isn't worshipped Government is in bed with companies, you're too late to save anyone with "government intervention" Fiat is not imaginary Just not excusing the rich for any crimes is good enough
Brody Rogers
Hating fiat currency and calling it "worthless piece of paper" or "imaginary money" is a fantastic way how to out yourself as a retard. And I actually mean it, it's an awesome retard filter.
Ryan Mitchell
You are mistaking me for an alt-right. Leave now and crawl back to commie-style poverty and leftypol.

You already are nothing more than little ants living an ant life. The funny thing is th they think it's always been like this or worse because people centuries back didn't have freedom and le Constitution.
