    Government regulations. Capitalism is a component of the government so it should take government action to enforce it.

      Really? Because I’ve been repeatedly told by libertarian types (not socialists or communists) that any government regulation is not capitalism.

      You’re free to disagree with them, but then I’m going to ask what your definition of capitalism is that assumes this regulation (not just allowing it, but mandating it).

        No matter the system you need some level of regulation otherwise it’s just anarchy. What you want is a balanced regulation that not overbearing and keeps thing running smoothly.

          OK, but the libertarian types who generally worship Musk are not going to like you one bit for saying it.

            I don’t fall into teams and I’m not part of a cult I’m looking at the big picture.
