If that's your answer, then I rest my case lol

didn't really say anything about that. i just said I'd rather live in a capitalist country, because it serves ME (and my family) better. whether other people suffer is not my concern. socialism would probably come with a lifestyle change for me.

not trying to troll here, im really being honest. i have a hard time feeling any kind of sympathy towards people, their suffering, living conditions etc. unless i know what it feels like.

if i did have that capacity i probably would've championed for something that's beneficial for the whole population.

"gaining success"

capitalism is a modernization of feudalism and mercantilism

nobles and slave traders built capitalist monopolies, wtf are u talking about?

The 1% will always intermarry and trade weath each other, that's not secret.

But as from the common person, their has been people poor asf who made it, so it's not like the common people don't have a chance at all.

I'm just saying as exploitive Capitalism, it proved to more successful imo.

u never had a communist society in the planet.

communism implies the abolition of the state and money

thanks spacey

Dictators have built communistic countries with socialistic ideas

What's your point?

That bad rich elites built something that they have control of, yeah no s***

I'm just saying in a capitalistic society, there are more opportunities than a socialistic one.

No they haven't man. Please read a book or learn something

Ancap>>

both socialism and capitalism are overly vague terms largely without definition and not used within a serious sense in actual economics

now that the nerd s*** is out of the way, democratic inclusive institutions featuring privatization and strong social safety nets have been proven to be the most effective and efficient systems we currently have.

tankies will call this capitalist slavery tho

What is it? I’m asking this out of ignorance

they're currently an oil-backed authoritarian state capitalist kleptocracy with an economy the size of texas

What is a kleptocracy?

A country where the rulers rob the people of wealth. Kinda like the African country we’re from

Are you Senegalese?

capitalism because then i can buy a lamborghini

basically when a government starts embezzling

putin legit took out like 5% of GDP for himself a while back

Either or? Neither

Capitalism all day every day

Every time socialism/communism fails it’s always the fault of something else

How many people need to be killed/imprisoned/stripped of everything they own before people will admit it doesn’t work

Someone please give me a number

Hierarchies are human nature

Better to have a system that utilises that instead of trying to engineer against it
