For anyone reading this, archive.is is probably the highest trafficked archiving site on reddit, and only receives few donations per week (and definitely not enough to run on donations alone). If you can, you can support the creator on Liberapay in order to make sure we have this service for the future.
You already can, there maybe a central exchange and market place but the market is just an idea. How do so many of these people not understand that? Like they seem to think that physically ending the NYSE would change shit.
You could buy and sell stock without a market, it’d just be individuals doing it privately. In the butt.
There's a local park that regularly hosts an "after-hours" market but the police tend to break it up. I wonder why they do all their trading in public restrooms?
That might shut down "The Stock Market", by which I assume they mean the NYSE, but it's not like there's only the one. And if a group of people are trading stock, then it has to be considered a stock market, in the same way that anywhere people trade for fish is a fish market or how any bar your mom winds up in is a meat market.
I suppose that's possible. I'm just not sure what it would accomplish to move trade outside of formal exchanges (of which there are hundreds worldwide) except...well, less formality. Maybe they're just big fans of business casual clothing?
Either way: "Edgy Teenage Leftists Have Poorly Thought Out Ideas, Film at 11", I guess.
Ah of course, the evil stockmarket. I agree with the lolcow, lets remove it and bring it back to the good old days when only the wealthy with connections could get stock in companies
I thought Prince managed to become a mod of centreleftpolitics, but he made his own place with a similar name because he kept getting buttblasted and Chapos stopped backing him up.

Reminds me of when an anarchist told me "Well actually, Bernie is a centrist".

We should have made more fun of prince tankikun's retarded opinions before he got mad and left.

I'm morbidly curious about why this dude thinks fluctuations in stock prices matter if you can't buy, sell, or trade them.

I took market here to mean stock exchange, but that’s a good point.

Right, I assume they meant stock exchanges, rather than the economic fact of a market for stocks.

Being fair, relying on interpersonal connections and nepotism to get ahead is Communist Society 101.
1 -absolutego- 2018-09-28
Relying on a system of interpersonal connections/nepotism to get ahead over merit or hard work is Communism 101, hardly surprising they'd be for it.

Owning stocks? Owning? That word is for capitalists and slave drivers, with an obvious overlap
