Yep. Sure, you can vote Marxism into existence but you have to fight to the death to end it. All you have to do to stop being a part of capitalism, however, is to give up all of the fun and luxuries brought into your life by capitalism. It's always funny how these capitalism-hating leftists never want to do that part.

Nonononono. The government will pay for almost everything! Go on, let your neighbors pay for your wants and needs! Do you get it yet? It's the contract between moral and ethical persons that make it work, not coercion

I don't think its all that flawed. The only flaw with capitalism is corrupt people. But with Marxism you don't even have to be corrupt for that to be a colossal failure. Corruption in Marxism just makes it go from the worse idea ever devised by man to pure evil.

Yes it is. In fact in the US if you drop out they send you a check every month

That's not dropping out of capitalism, that's just not having a job. You still have to buy food and other stuff

Unemployment benefits end after 6 months. Unless they are extended due to a crisis. So after 6 months you are on welfare and have dropped out.

If you're disabled in the US the government sends you almost as much money as illegals get!

The saddest part is you said, “almost as much.”

It depends what you consider voluntary

Do you have to work - no

If you want to buy something does it have to be through capitalism - yes

Wether we like to admit it or not the country we live in uses both Socialism approaches and ideas and the Capitalism play style

Pretty good but a little more socialism approaches would be better like free education and school lunch.

But that’s just me!

There is no free education or free lunch- somebody pays. And the strings that come attached to government money aren't worth the subsidies

I know someone pays the idea is our taxes contribute to the next generation and others by helping them and having free lunch so no kid worries of food

Education so we can build a stronger country

Its common sense really

That's how it was sold to us. Instead we have fraudsters stealing billions, parents that know the schools will feed their kids so they can still squander money on wants not needs. Education that gets worse year after year because there's no penalty for being a crappy teacher.

Ok wild claim and my parents are both teachers let’s break this down

1. Parents are not sending their kids to school and forcing them to get the free lunch because they feel like it. The schools lunches aren’t super filling and are just a standby for calories they school does background and income checks I know because I’ve seen the free lunch application before

2. Education gets worse because of crappy teachers… mostly untrue

Mostly it’s

Kids who don’t wanna learn, disrespectful ones with no sense of wanting to learn. Teachers do a lot and spend money out of their own pocket because of low salaries. Honestly they should be payed more and what schools do with money should be checked. I learned the other day our school has a “golf simulator room” but our state and auditorium you can smell the mold

We were dirt poor and zero chance my parents would accept public help- peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and if you didn't bring home the paper lunch sack you carried lunch in your hand for a while. When things improved we could occasionally buy hot lunch which was prepared from scratch.
Even in my day, before dei and sexualized schools we often had crappy teachers. A few pervs who would probably get teacher of the month awards now. But the schools were run with a fraction of the staff as now. This comes with the strings attached to the government money. Biggest difference is the parental attitude. Which leads to behavior problems from their kids. Also the poor decisions made at the top on leaving proven teaching methods behind for foolish ideas that have proven to be foolish.

Ok let’s break this down here again I have some questions

1. Sorry about your situation but at your time they didn’t have government funded lunch I’m sorry. If that’s one thing I could change was making sure all kids get food

2. Strings with government money true - the government has been mostly defunding a lot of schools depending on the state you live in

3 can I have some examples of false and foolish teaching methods and ideas?

Going away from phonics based reading to memorize the word, which is something the brightest kids can do but not the rest. Schools throughout the south have gone back to the old ways and reading comprehension has skyrocketed

Not down south and in many other things.

I do agree but that’s one example can I have more on what teachers are teaching wrong, or the incorrect ideas they’re teaching
