Capitalism is a word coined by Karl Marx. Marx was a twit. He never worked a day in his life yet he claims to be an expert on how businesses work? He was a nut job who spent his life writing love poetry to Mephistopheles. He hated everyone and look at people as if they were ants. That is why his incoherent ramblings that showed no understanding of economics was all about controlling human beings as if they were worker ants.
Everything I saw was 100% factual. You have drunk the Kool-Aid. I should have never replied to you because I saw in your comment.
I am NOT going to reiterate 5 or any other definition that raving lunatic invented. He just did not know what he was talking about.
When I tell you that that free market economics is just the free exchange of a good and/or service for another good and/or service that is all it has ever been. And by free exchange, I mean without any government involvement whatsoever.
There are anarcho-capitalists who argue that you cannot have a truly free market if a government exists. They are right but I see value in having a very small and limited government.
As you can see our federal government is the polar opposite of small and limited. It is massive and everyday keeps finding ways to claim more powers for itself by taking freedom from us.
Therefore, NOTHING that you thing is free market economics exists. Everything you are seeing and calling "capitalism" has been caused by creeping socialism that has infested our government. What you are calling capitalism is the direct cause of over a century of socialist infestation into our government. It is exactly what Marx described but didn't know that his ideas actually were the cause of that nightmare and worse.
Marx is directly responsible for the genocide of 100 to 150 million people. He inspired socialist dictators like Mao Tse Tung, Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, the Kim dynasty in North Korea and so many others.
And you want all of that so badly because they promised you a lollipop.
"just stay 5000 feet from any school. Its the law!"
Are you accusing me of being a pedophile? I am not. We're done. You need to learn to stop making accusations that you cannot back up. It makes you an idiot.
"I love how you used an image of poverty-stricken children from a country EXPLOITED BY CAPITALISM to prove your point..."
I would like just once for someone explain to me how capitalists "exploit" anyone? Capitalism (what Marx called the free market) is when one party exchanges a good and/or service with another party. That's it. You guys add a whole bunch of other stuff that is NOT the free market. It is just buying and selling. It doesn't even require money, bartering is the free market. The more you can keep the government out of the way the freer the market becomes and the better
We haven't had a free market, we used to have a mostly free market but none of us have ever lived in a very free market. The government exerts too much control. The damage that causes is exactly what the left is calling the free market, it is not.
So I ask again how does the free market "exploit" anyone. An evil person might try to exploit someone but Marxism is all about exploiting people. It robs them of all of their rights.
Not all rich people got rich because of greed. Most of them haven't. But Marxists have poisoned people's thought about greed. The do not see the greed that is inherent in Marxism when it takes everything you own, including your life.
Show me any socialist nation where the people live free. Show me any socialist nation were the majority of the people are not poor.
And, yes, those countries were doing socialism the right way. That's because when it takes everything you own, you get Adolf Hitler (National Socialist), Josef Stalin (International Socialist), Vladimir Lenin (Democratic Socialist), Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Pol Pot, the Kim dynasty in North Korea, China (everyone since Mao Tse Tung). You even get Benito Mussolini. He was a fascist but before you run off the rails claiming it is something entirely different than socialism you need to know that it's co-creator, Giovani Gentile, said that fascism is his improvement on socialism. In other words fascism IS socialism.
Perhaps before you run around promoting this nightmare you should move to a socialist country of your choice and stay there for at least a year or two. And if they let you leave and come back then you can extol the virtues of this nightmare. Do NOT think that the Scandinavian countries are what socialism is all about. Sweden even tried full socialism but had to stop because they almost went bankrupt.
Bill Clinton doesn't even know who I am. I am not living in Bill Clinton's mind at all.
I can't tell you what to do with the money the government gives you. But if you want to be a good Democrat you can always give it to the IRS. Oh wait. You only want to do that when you're forced to pay taxes.
