No, capitalism is not fundamentally about being “unrestricted”, and definitely is not anywhere close to the “natural” state of the world — Extreme opposite, on both counts

These are wrong takes very frequently pushed even by those on the right

— that capitalism is some kind of natural state that happens when freed from all restriction

NO, EXTREME OPPOSITE

Parasitic communist cancerous mob thieving insanity — is among the most natural states there can be, can see such deprived behavior through out the animal kingdom

Financial tech is the EXTREME OPPOSITE of natural

Financial tech is the EXTREME OPPOSITE of unrestricted

New financial tech very often vastly-increases some critical restriction

E.g.

+ Bitcoin made it vastly harder to print money out of nowhere, as long as people switch to Bitcoin = INCREASING RESTRICTIONS

+ Bitcoin made it far harder for the government just change the number in someone’s account representing their account balance, as long as people switch to Bitcoin = INCREASING RESTRICTIONS

+ Bitcoin made it far harder for governments to just block transactions = INCREASING RESTRICTIONS

Same goes for all kinds of new market mechanisms and economic tech — Very often can be seen to be actually vastly increasing restrictions on something bad happening

Often in the form of restricting those who seek to wrongly restrict you

Likewise, the new better tech is often increasing the censoring of bad things. Try putting bad transactions into the Bitcoin mempool, and watch how quickly they get censored out of existance — unlike if you forge a check, kite checks, or similar frauds of sending money which you should not, or which does not exist.

Advances in financial tech most always take the form of restricting and censoring what is bad, so that the bad cannot restrict and censor the good

— But make no mistake, that increasing of restriction and censoring of what is bad, for the properly-chosen type of “bad”, is often the foundation of these advances

Financial/economic tech which can be attacked is no good, must restrict and censor the attacks, for it to possibly be good

Nothing “natural” about so-called capitalism

So-called capitalism is financial/economic tech, whose advancement has no limit

— so the more capitalism you get, the further from the barbaric ground-state of nature you go

Now ofc, giving the government more power is not how to advance capitalism, that is not where things should be evolving away from, replaced by new technological advancements that makes government intervention increasingly obsolete

More capitalism = restriction-maxxing & censoring-maxxing, of the bad, for the appropriate definitions of bad, and evolving in the opposite direction of the natural state

Capitalism is a tech which never stops advancing, opposite of natural

Similar take from Hayek

(Though there are strong rumors that it was not Hayek who wrote this)

= Capitalism is the complete opposite of the zero-effort default unrestricted natural state of the world

Rather the extremely hard-earned advancement of a set of technologies, with those societies who refused to adopt the advancements getting crushed along the way

A slow technological march that has been underway since the dawn of time, and will continue until the end of time

Technology that even most humans are far too stupid to recognize the value of, which is why so many societies get crushed for trying to resist the advances in these technologies — let alone the rest of nature which is also far too stupid to adopt most any financial or economic tech at all

= Nothing natural about it

Capitalism = advance of certain technologies = extreme opposite of “natural”, for any non-absurd definition of “natural”

Saying capitalism is the unrestricted natural state is like saying iPhones are natural
