        I want private ownership and competition along with markets that can find the optimal price for goods. there can be safety nets for the poor sick and insane and the combination of this is simply another sort of capitalsm

          What does optimal mean in this scenario? Because really that is the crux of the issue. Capitalism puts the power into the hands of corporations to determine what is optimal. That’s what the free market is. The consumer doesn’t really have power in that system in any way that matters.

          Lmao you believe in the invisible hand?

          The optimal price will simply be the price the oligarchy decides to practice.
