Sorry you are wrong. People who have made more money are in general more worth listening to and often have wisdom that the economically illiterate lack. You are blinded by envious hate

America has been going down hill ever since. Americans were better off when Keynesian capitalism (Socialism) existed, and that is historic fact.
replied 2348d
Austrian econ created 1930 depression. Keynesian econ started (Socialism to balance out Capitalism) to stop people overthrowing capitalism. Nixon started reversing that in 1970's.
replied 2348d
If Capitalism was so great why are Americans poorer then ever and most disfunctional society even when no one attacked the US soil ever? Go on, explain that logic?

No its not. Bailing out banks is not Socialism, that is Capitalism using Socialism to profit from it. Socialism is not government helping capitalist businesses, its helping the PEOPLE.

Once again - Your definition of capitalism seems to be "all the bad stuff that states or businesses do that you don't like" socialism = "all the stuff you like"

Capitalists are not only involved as they control government policies, they also profit massively from all these wars. Capitalists win 2 fold: kill Communism & war profiteering.

Those monopolies are Capitalist businesses. US Government doesn't spend money on wars because it is Socialist & helps people, but because its opposite, doing dirty work for Capitalists

Just because private prisons are horrible. Privately produced guns, tanks, bombs (everything)...The issue is not that things are produced privately it is that the state is an extortion

Everything that is done by Capitalist business, ends up costing people more & without Socialism the poor end up not being able to afford many things, like health and education.
replied 2347d
Capitalist business is true Extortion. You don't understand idea behind tax. Tax is meant to be used to have the state provide things for its people in cheaper way then private sector.
replied 2346d
Good intentions don't mean that tax is a good thing. Nor does it mean that it achieves what you think it does. Free market capitalism is the only cure for poverty. This much is obvious

If I want to attack you and I hire someone to do it for me so I am not the obvious attacker, who is attacking you, the guy I paid to attack you or me? Of course it would be me.
replied 2346d
it's much more efficient to hire hitmen. as you add layers (bribing multiple officials/setting up different protests) the more expensive it is & less effective money is

who is attacking me? the person literally, physically attacking me, or the person who hired him?

They use government as its easier for them to hide like this. If they did it directly it would be more obvious and people would pick up on it sooner. Its still capitalists attacking.

How do you do that without controlling the means to provide healthcare? Aka enslaving doctors and nurses.

Okay, well here's another one for you. Capitalist businesses can choose not to trade with Communist ones particularly in regards to critical resources like food and they sponsor coups.
