Don't confuse your M.O. with mine. Truth be told, the only thing I've looked up in this entire thread is the spelling of a couple of words. In fact, I haven't studied Communism in almost a decade. I am not a kettle, and you didn't hit a triple.
And for the record, every instance of Communism that has tried on a national scale has created a small, very wealthy ruling class, except perhaps Vietnam.
of course if has because they people pushing socialism and communism know it’s sucks and know they can take advantage of an unmotivated citizenship that has no power to change.
But it is not a requirement of communists it is a consequence.
Do you know anyone working in a factory today? There is no shot of raising a family and buying a modest house with an average factory worker's salary in the US today. Fifty years ago, it was commonplace.
Of course I do, and you are wrong I know tons of people in that income bracket who own homes and are raising families.
It is easy for anyone with at least a moderate intellect who isn't completely blind to see the damage being wrought by Capitalism. Instead of pointing out obvious examples to one who will refuse to genuinely look at them, I will repeat the biggest fundamental flaw that's already been mentioned. Any system that requires an accelerating consumption of finite resources is necessarily self terminating. Even staunch capitalists admit that Capitalism requires constant economic expansion.
So your response to a reasonable question: you say capitalism damages society, I disagree and ask what damage are referring to; is to pull a “I’m not going to say because everyone knows” then cut and paste something
But wait. You just blamed capitalism for what HAS TO HAPPEN UNDER ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT OR ECONOMICS.
You think that capitalism is damaging because population grows and therefore we consume more.
What is your alternative? No progress? Stagnate? Go back to cave man days?
again you failed 101.
Might wanna go on another furious google run to try to refute these obvious truths.
I don’t need to google, I have a degree in economics and a career of witnessing everything we are discussing.
You should probably start with game theory, which is fundamental to understanding the basics of economics. You then might want to study a little American and European economic history, including the wealth gap as well as wages relative to inflation over time.
Haha. Game theory lol. I suggest you go back to the books. I have a degree you are throwing out buzzwords.
But let’s play!!
Please explain the wealth gap in capitalist counties as it compares to socialist and communist countries. Please enlighten me on the economic system that has eliminated a wealth gap, not by eliminating the rich but by elevating the poor.
Please explain how inflation of prices and wages compare in a capitalist society vs a socialist society.
Please identify the systems of government and economics that have created greater opportunity for those born poor than what we have in this country.
Please show me what has worked better where.
What you are doing is whining. You are taking human nature, natural selection, survival of the fittest, abs human economic realty and identifying things to complain about and blaming the man. You have no alternative, you dismiss reality, and whine.
And you do it by condescending to someone with a degree and a lifetime of experience.
What you really should be doing is recognizing the opportunity that is afforded to you and instead of crying about “the system” go make your fortune, because it’s sitting right there for you if you choose to be the kind of person who works for it, rather than the guy who whines about his unfair everything is.
