Pretty sure the economic policies that you support are quite favorable to that parasitic wealthy protected class you mentioned

No body minds the wealthy getting wealthier when they can pay their bills and still have enough left over to enjoy themselves.

Governing is like farming - you got to husband your livestock.

You don't treat em like poor ol boxer was treated in animal farm.

You really need to learn to stop speaking for everyone. Capitalism necessitates poverty.

You really need to learn to respect your elders.

Capitalism does not necessitate poverty.

The poverty comes from people, such as yourself, who will not quit buying products made by slave labor and less than living wage labor while pontificating against capitalism.

In order for capitalism to exist there must be consumers.

Even if you didn't have to pay for it, you still benefitted from the exploitation of the impoverished.

Being old and having experience doesn’t make you necessarily wise, or correct. It is apparent to me that you’ve read little to no theory and haven’t done much research.

Capitalism necessitates poverty because it requires exploitation; an exploited class and an exploiter class. Seems even you readily admit this. Increasingly, we see globalization because multinational corporations take advantage of the cheapest labor they can find, and that exists overseas, so that’s where they make their investments and shift operations to. Capitalists have an incentive to keep labor costs (wages) low but profits high. In some cases, they’ll even cut wages if it takes too much away from their profits. This same exploiter class has way more power than the exploited class, because they are well-organized and well-connected and the capitalists and legislators amalgamate to bust working class unionization and organizing attempts.

In order for capitalism to exist there must be the institutions of private property and the wages system. If labor owned what it produces, the system would cease to exist.

Why does this fantastic utopia not exist?

Why has this fantastic utopia never existed?

Why does EVERY disciple of socialism and communism continue to live in a capitalist society and exploit the slaves of the world?

Just because you are young, impertinent, and idealistic, and are reading things I've known about longer than you've been alive doesn't make you wise or correct.

You state others are poorly read or educated because they don't agree with your newly found nonconformist banner to wave.

😄 You have no idea about anything!

I have no idea about anything, yet all you can do is deflect with questions and not inject a single criticism into my anti-capitalist analysis. You know I’m right.

There is no utopia under any system. The socialist movement doesn’t have the numbers it used to, and if people are subscribed to any leftist ideology today, they are not likely to be revolutionary socialists.

Anarchist experiments were sabotaged by the Soviets. In both cases, anarchists aimed to implement their ideas during a civil war, so territory was hotly contested on various fronts. This doesn’t mean anarchists are unable to defend territory, in fact, the Makhnovists defeated the White Army and the anarchists were the biggest military faction on the Popular Front in the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.

Not every follower of socialism lives in capitalist countries, but the real material conditions of poverty, imperialism, militaristic policing and mass incarceration can lead minds to a radical solution.

I say you are poorly read because you don’t effectively demonstrate much knowledge whatever about the topics I speak of.

You don't exhibit much knowledge - you just regurgitate the words of others.

I ask you a question and you type out a chapter from a book you googled, never answering the question. And I am deflecting? 😄

I make many statements, and here are two just to sum up:

1. I believe you are naive.

2. I believe you take full advantage of the goods, money, and benefits of capitalism, exempli gratia - electricity, running water, air conditioning, gas powered vehicles, Walmart, the goods produced by the labor of wage slaves and chattel slaves.

3. Regular, Regularfeller is the illest,
Your style is played out like Arnold wonderin whatchu talkin bout Willis
