Facist economics vs Capitalist economics

First of all, capitalism (free market economies) runs better for a wide variety of reasons. One of those reasons is individualism. Individualism is only present in a capitalist economy. It is essential because it allows people to be different. Fascism is the opposite, it allows nobody to be different, it relies on standardization of lifestyles. Under capitalism, I am able to purchase my favorite brand of my favorite product from my favorite store in my favorite area. If my neighbor does not want to purchase, say, a Dr.Pepper soda from an AmPm in Humble, that is fine and we can both coexist. Under fascism, we all vote on what we will buy, or even worse, a dictator tells us what we will buy. This eliminates individualism entirely or at least to a great degree. In a free market, I can also pick what job I have. I am not assigned a job by the government, I can voluntarily go out and engage in a free exchange of my labor for my employer's money. If I were assigned the job "brain surgeon" and trained my whole life to become one, it may very well be that I would not be as good as my friend who was assigned the job "janitor". This is because I may not want to be a brain surgeon and my friend does, or it could be because of inherent traits I possess or my friend possesses. If the economy is to function at it's full ability, and therefore be what we call "efficient" we need individual freedom as opposed to collective will. Another reason the free market is more efficient than fascism is because of privatization. Privatization in a capitalist form means that private parties (individuals, corporations, partnerships, etc.) can purchase and own property freely so long as those who they are buying it from wish to sell it. It is not just real estate that applies to this principle, it is also the means of production, material objects, contracts, intellectual property, and other forms of business-related and non-business-related things. "Why does this work so well?" asks Pro. Because, if I retain full property rights of my house and yard, I will definitely keep it clean and orderly and well built. I will not do the same to something that I do not have the full property rights, because it's not my problem, it's someone else's problem. Means of production (factories, stores, etc.) are kept to a very high standard and prices are kept low, because there are so many options that the proprietor needs to show customers he is better. This leads me to my next point. The profit incentive is another reason why capitalism works. Under capitalism, everyone has the right to start a business and make as much money as possible, so long as they do not infringe on that right of others. This leads to a wide variety of options for consumers. Consumers will pick the best option, naturally. This rewards good businesses and punishes bad businesses. Since companies know this, they try to provide exactly what consumers want, better than any fascist government could. They lower prices, they raise quality, they clean their stores, they improve safety, they make more locations to make it easier for customers to get there, they advertise so that everyone knows where to get the best deal, they provide different types of products for different types of people, and they do much more than has ever been done under fascism. With this in mind, let us move on. Many complaints against laissez-faire capitalism is that people are "selfish" and "greedy". This is true, but this is true under all systems. It's because no person ever has been truly altruistic, humans are selfish, as are most animals. Capitalism simply harnesses the power of the greedy, selfish tendencies of the human race, instead of stifling them like many systems do. It actually allows people to be more selfless than any other system ever devised. Here is an example: I am a baker. I bake bread very well. I am selfish and want money, so I trade the bread to people who do not make their own bread for money. I trade this money for things other people make and I do not make. I realize that people like the bread more when it is baked at a lower heat for a longer time. I do this, even though it takes more of my time, and people like my bread better than other bread. I see that many customers are going to a bakery closer to their houses, even though they say my bread is better. They do not like treading through the snow and dirt to my far-away location and settle for sub-par bread. I spend the last of my money on another property closer to people's homes. I even take a loan from the bank to buy new equipment to make even better bread at the new location. I have seemingly sacrificed everything so that everyone can have very good bread very close to them. However, capitalism comes to the rescue and rewards me for my intelligent actions. I make more money than ever before as everyone goes to my business. The other baker only gets customers who cannot afford good bread. I am greedy and want those customers too. I find ways to keep the bread at it's high quality and sell it at a lower price for my low-income neighbors. The other baker cannot keep up and goes out of business. I am very greedy and and lazy and cannot work by myself feeding the whole town. I offer the other baker a job to help me make bread for everyone, he therefore can put food on the table for his family. Me and the other baker make a fortune and our town becomes famous for very good bread. We decide to take some of the money we made and make another location in another town. We and our families become very wealthy and go down in history for the best bread ever. That is basically the story behind McDonalds, except instead of bread, they made burgers. I hope Pro (and other anti-capitalists) has learned something from this. Being selfish is good, and helps everyone get what they want.
