irrc the nazis had control over a lot of industries. I wouldn’t call that capitalism as it’s literally the contrary of what capitalism is.

It’s like calling an autocracy a democracy just because they hold fake elections

I guess that's why the german bourgeoisie embraced Hitler's little dick and communists were sent to camps
You seem to think far left=communism by default or something?

Far left economics is where the power is concentrated to government or state where they make all the decisions. Because they have all the power, the can easily strip the people of their social freedoms.

Communism focuses on property being publicly owned, and everyone is paid and get resources according to their needs.

I don't think that. However my statement remains true.
Well yeah cause Nazi Germany wasn't a communist state despite being far left economically.

t is far-right economics according to you ?
Unregulated competitive markets where power and resources can still be concentrated into the hands of a few. It's pretty much what America is going through. Same results as far left economics but with opposite travel paths.

Why are you guys not quoting Uncle Van instead ?

But whatever. A body in good health is great for social life and sexual attraction ! Don't waste your youth hating on sports. Increase your happiness NOW !
No idea what van said
 
I'm mostly joking. But only mostly, because there is an argument here. You need to see Sport through a materialist and socialist lens to understand it.

Sport is a lot of things... but a fair model.

Indeed, sport resides on the very core principle of liberalism : Meritocracy. The entire base for sport is that you can surpass yourself through effort and work. And for those who know me and read the leftist library, you should know that I do not believe that meritocracy exist. Its a system of the past, an illusion that got us out of monarchism and feodalism but something that is actually the base for a much darker system: Capitalism.

And so sport is actually everything capitalism is:

- Through sport meritocracy applies and with it all its inherent inequalities
- Through sport there are monopolies of capitals in the ends of few
- Through sport figures of heroes appears

For those three reasons Sports are one of the starting point of what constitute fascism. But I'm being cheaky and trolly here, a lots of things constitute fascism so sport alone is not enough. But on the other hand, what sport is, is the right hand man of capitalism.

That's why sport might evolve in the future. We might have similar competitions, but we could also have very different ones as well, "competitions" toward more equity between participants where equity is a key factor or even... where the rules of the game are not to finish in first place.

Your problem (and that is also the problem of most apolitical people) is that you don't understand that the social is political.

I'm not saying that the act of doing sport is political, I'm saying that the way Sport as a discipline is structured is conditionned by our political and sociological context. In our current world, sport is conditionned by liberalism, capitalism and therefore Meritocracy. We need to understand that in order to understand how this social structure works and potentially create a social structure that is more equal and fairer.

That way, we could make sport more accessible, more enjoyable and more beneficial for all.

Never stop looking at society through a sociological and political lens mate. Its important.
