    liberalism so frequently operates on these invented, hypothetical situations that it's probably caked into the whole theory. I see it all the time. All these fictional scenarios of two parties entering some trading agreement over tomatoes or flowers and it's presented in a way where you're a bad person if you're interfering rather than an actual analysis of like the United Fruit Company or Raytheon

    might be why Capital is so focused on how capitalism is unstable even if all the hypothetical assumptions are true and work perfectly

      It's what happens when you get idealism in your politics, all the real stuff is just mistakes or blemishes on the pure goodness that you know exists in your ideology if you can just come up with the right scenario.
