Have you seen capitalism, lately?
Have you seen capitalism, lately?
Yup, the richest societies are all free market. The poorest? Socialist. Open your eyes, socialism has a 0-100 record of losing.
And how many millions of people has capitalism killed in this century alone? I'll wait.
Relatively few (mostly in defense) compared to socialism. Stalin, Hitler, and Mao (all godless socialists) have killed the most people.
Your ignorance is staggering. The transatlantic slave trade was a capitalist project. Westward expansion in the US was a capitalist project. Upwards of 2.4 million people died in the crossing alone. Not even counting the folks who died before they got in the ship.
You clearly don't understand what "free market" means. Note the word "free". Free is where people FREELY trade with each other. Do you think people were freely enslaved? Seriously, how dumb are you? You struggle with simple words and concepts.
Are you off your meds? Read a little history, there was always population expansion. History was a bitch for everyone - if you couldn't create a society that could defend itself, you lost.
There are estimates that another 5 million Africans died in the "seasoning" camps after their arrival. Especially those in the Caribbean. Now let's talk about the indigenous folks who died to make way for capitalism. 56 million across the Americas.
You clearly don't understand the Free Market system. It means people trade without coercion. Slavery and forced labor is not "free". Go join one of those socialist utopias. Oh, I forgot, they don't exist.
But if you want to argue that, oh, not all those societies were strictly capitalist...we can just focus on North America where the native population was cut in half from 8 to 4 million by 1776 and decreased to 250,000 by 1890. You do that staggering math.
Shall we talk about the imperialist wars that the US engaged once they ran out of space and people to genocide at home? Or all the meddling they did in other countries elections that led to fascist governments that massacred/disappeared their own people? Or can we just talk about Iraq?
Or Afghanistan? Or Vietnam? Or all the kids dying in mines right now in the Congo digging minerals for our phones? Capitalism is a murderous system and always has been.
You're right, we need to bring back the Stalins, Maos, and Hitlers to usher in socialist utopias. You really are clueless you commie asswipe.
define "few"
You do know there’s more to society than individual net worth, right?
Money is a store of value. When you create value, people give you money. If you create a lot of value, people give you a lot of money. Value is created by making people's lives better. There are a lot of free riders in a free market society, but so far the good far outweighs the bad.
You're so gross. You're like a bad character in a dystopian movie, so basically MAGA.
Let me guess. You're a highly educated, single white woman that has cats. You hate your life so you hate the world. No job is good enough for you. You're a victim of everything.
0/7 Mildly educated, not single, don't have cats, love my life and don't hate the world at all. Never been a victim of anything in my life but sexual assault. Lol, you don't have a knack for psychoanalysis.
Or you're in denial.
Nope. No part of what you said is true. You're vapid, and don't have a capacity to clock other people. It requires depth, which you lack.
yeah man shes in denial about if she has cats or not. damn you sound like a dumb motherfucker
What value do you create?
Products and jobs.
You create products or jobs or you help someone else create products and jobs?
All of the above. Sorry for being so evil.
Good for you. What about those that are incapable of creating value? Fuck them?
Not at all. There should be a safety net for, say, 10% of those that are incapacitated in some way. But people derive value from work and we should incentivize them to work. Dems have incentivized people to NOT work which has destroyed generations of families.
