he just told me u r a nut job

Spectrums do not exist!

43

So Capitalism exists with some degree of Socialism

The argument is now about the ratio.

He just told me you should learn how to spell, use punctuation, and capitalization.

45

I did, I also brought up that all of our enemies call us capitalistic pigs or the great satan. and now we have a party in America that wants to end capitalism, read the link

46

Stop telling people to shut up jackass.

I was using the phrase simply to illustrate the need for restrictions on capitalist society. I like the system we have now for the most part, but like I said, too many people are falling through the cracks and that is inexcusable.

47

There has been a Party that has wanted to end Capitalism in the US since like the late 1800ā€™s

The hand wringing over Ocasio-Cortez is pretty funnyā€¦ who knew a 20 something from the Bronx would throw people into such a tizzy.

In pre-history, pre-civilization when only barter was used.

Democrats want to end capitalism! :rofl:

Youā€™re all over the place man thereā€™s nothing wrong with capitalism but like any economic system it has its faults Iā€™m of the opinion however that it is the best of all the current available systems.

you normally are well read, but you like socialism so you donā€™t mind. given your affinity to socialism why do you mind Trump getting commy money.

51

you guys that like one liners are funny, all issues are slightly more complex. There is an active thread on here that says what is wrong with democratic socialism, I asked what is wrong with Capitalism.

nobody has said anything about what is wrong with Capitalism. so far.

My manā€¦ you are putting words in peopleā€™s mouths and responding to arguments that no one is making.

Soon there will be sightings of Ocasio-Cortez across the country terrifying little children to come a take their candy away from them if they arenā€™t good.

53

I think I said the 1880s, the beginning of the progressive movement.

54

The two canā€™t even be compared dude youā€™re talking about two different things and youā€™re not even interested in honest debate youā€™re just wanting to put in buzzwords and dumb articles

:crazy_face:

55

what is it you think you know about debate,

introduce a premise, give examples, back it up. do you think you are debating now,

attack my premise that capitalism is good, provides freedom to individuals and save the world from dictators.

tell me how Britain would have won the war without our help, or stalin, tell me why the term arsenal of democracy is not valid.

go ahead and debate.

56

The funny thing is that you never actually responded that I would love to see the end of Capitalism also.

It would never happen because it is a fantasy worldā€¦ at least until we have robot workers and monkey butlersā€¦ but the best that we can do is work to curb the cruelty of the world a little bit while keeping a system that rewards innovation and hard work.

One of the problems that I see is that the system right now rewards capital accumulation much more readily than it rewards hard work and that is an unsustainable for the long term health of any political or economic system.

So Jez, when people say they want to end capitalism, they are just joking now, but for the last 140 years they meant it?

58

They probably meanā€¦ and I do also.

I am just a realist.

You opening premise is false - Democratic socialism is not an ā€œalternativeā€ to capitalism. Thereā€™s no point in addressing anything else in this post.

Your wiki is also open.

so then, what am I arguing that is false?
