    Sure would be nice, but such a system seems to be fundamentally incompatible with human nature and reality.

      Seems to be? On what grounds? Do you think humans have a built-in mystical flaw that turns them evil if they share tools?

        Thinking that there could be a system that doesn’t require regulations that have to be enforced is just very naive.

          Yes and no. Capitalism requires huge amounts of regulation to not destroy itself, and a system with considerably less regulation could exist if the Workers could represent themselves via ownership.

      as if human nature is set in stone but i love the reality argument, as if capitalism is somehow a realistic functioning system. for sure a dreamed up notion of capital is 100% real and not the machinations of generations of trial and error(still on going btw).
