Philosoraptor

False premise.

When predatory capitalism is the premise, the conclusion is quite sound. Present your logical argument against anything illogical in the meme. Your response is facile otherwise

Predatory capitalism is an oxymoron. If it is predatory, it is not capitalism. If it is capitalism, it cannot be predatory. It’s a term made up by Marxists to confuse useful idiots.

Socialism is greed. Socialist implies taking something from somebody and giving it to somebody else for nothing in return. That is greed: getting something for nothing. Capitalism implies a voluntary exchange of something of value between multiple entities.

I believe you’ve undermined the basic tenets of Christianity. Charity, and the compassion towards others who don’t have enough. You can exhibit all the sophistry at you disposal to justify sinful greed. Your lack of spiritual discernment is obvious. GREED IS GOOD! OK YOU WIN

I did not say greed is good. You can’t put those words in my mouth. What you forget is that there can be no charity without first prosperity. Capitalism creates prosperity, which funds charity.

What you say is untrue. Charity comes not from one man’s prosperity. It comes from the bounty of the the harvest. Some sow, others reap. When children are starving beyond the scope of our televisions, diamond necklaces on a poodle should alert anyone with a conscience, that something is f**ked up. I feel like I have to defend rudimentary humanity

Capitalist Americans opened up their wallets when the tsunami hit Southeast Asia in 2004. Perhaps you are too young to have experienced that.

LOL. I’M 73 yrs old Sonny Boy! I have seen more than was ever dreamed in your philosophy

Good for you, old fart. What is your favorite charity?

You are. Possible redemption!

And I also remember he shipped oil to the distressed part of America for free. Any socialist govt. that tries to uplift their people will be embargoed by America, and counter forces stocked, and supplied by American capitalists. You are blind to the wickedness of your land!

So are the millions who want to come here every year.

Capitalism creates inequities which will soon shake your world.

That already happened with Marxism.

Oh, and fascism seems like a viable alternative?

Nope. Capitalism is.

Not to be a voice in the wilderness, but you seem unprepared for the future that awaits you

And what future is that?

Those who have too much, exploit those who have too little for a substantial advantage. Capitalism has become a weasel word for uninhibited greed, and to deny that would be hopelessly naive!

How do they exploit them exactly?

They undermine, or destabilize their governments then move in like predators to help them rebuild what you helped to destroy in exchange for all of their resources. Read the book written by a decorated WWII veteran titled WAR IS A RACKET. come back to me then when you have more of an adult perspective. THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Was America richer or poorer before WWII?

I don’t care. That is irrelevant. Your entire economy is predicated on war!

Umm, no? Its built on machinery,technology, agriculture and oil. We spend 3% of our GDP on our military.

Also, who is "they"? And how do they undermine the government? Whose giving who what resources?
I feel it is you who needs to take a long look at the world and history, and reconsider your position.

You spend 13.3 percent of your gnp on the military. The most of any other country in the world. If you want to participate in debate. Please get your facts straight!

Bankers run your economy because you have been bankrupt since the civil war. Explain to me the function of the federal reserve. They are your masters. Your candidates are programmed to obey. Democracy is a sham!

Also incorrect. It is 3.4% of our GDP. Barely more than most of Europe.

The Federal Reserve, as the central bank of the United States, has several key functions including conducting monetary policy, supervising and regulating banks, and maintaining the stability of the financial system. America is not bankrupt. Americas Economy is not run by bankers.

You seem to make up a capitalist totalitarian world, and then imagine that is whats really happening. Explain how they are my masters. Our candidates are programmed to obey whom? How? How is Democracy a sham?

Why do I feel I am patronizing children?

Free trade of goods and services has been around for thousands of years, and it’s not going anywhere.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

Marxism/communism/socialism has never eliminated income stratification, and it never will.

No, I just dont like starving.

Have you tried it.

No and dont really want to.

Really bro! When’s the last time you missed a meal?

Not missing a meal shows that capitalism works

Not missing a meal means you are wasting food! You maintain an entity that does not deserve their daily bread. What exactly do you live by?

How does that follow?

When you can’t follow confess that you’re lost, and perhaps out of your depth

Not missing a meal shows you are wasting food. How? deserve their daily bread? What do I live by? Can you clarify what you are saying here?

How is my not missing a meal, wasting food?

You’re eating twice what you need. America is obese

Not everyone, and from what I’ve seen of Canadtumbs they look more like Uncle Buck than they do Twiggy

Because your contribution does not equal the resources needed to sustain you

Wouldn’t that apply to every breathing thing on the planet

That’s where your discernment fails you

Thanks to capitalism, virtually no one misses meals.

Then you are hopelessly uninformed about hunger in America

I am informed, and my statement remains true.

Unless you are “virtually no one” and their numbers are legion!

Willful blindness is no excuse for your myopic perspective. You know there are hungry in America, but to win a stupid argument that only serves your ego, is pathetically wrong!

So you admit I am right?

If you say so BROMEO

Why do you talk so stupid?
