These conspiracy theories are coming at us so fast and hard I can hardly keep up . And yet you elected one of America ' s chief conspirators to the highest office in the land <| sep |> I believe capitalism and free markets are antithetical . You can ' t have both . This is largely based on Wealth of Nations . I know Adam Smith wasn ' t calling for socialism , but he accurately describes that through collusion or market manipilation , capitalists will aways stifle competition by any means . More often nowadays the easiest tactic is making use of the state , but even without it they can and do try to limit or completely destroy competition . Market socialism is an economy largely based on workerconsumer cooperatives and nonprofits , but a lot of market socialists have no issue with petitebourgeois institutions . So it ' s the workers owning their respective means of production , but competing or cooperating with one another , however the workers of that industry choose to operate .
