Why is Capitalism bad?

I think capitalism is great like all economic systems it has its faults but it’s by far the best one available

But you seem to have this idea tha the “libs” want to end capitalism which is well just laughable

because people think capitalism = freedom

The fault of capitalism is that it is based on freedom and when government takes your freedom they mess up the economy.

■■■ does socialism have to do with communism? Socialism is a set of policies that deal with social and economic issues. Communism is a form of government. Post Office is socialism, so is the military and roads. The police dept etc…

most people understand that all political freedom is derived from economic freedom

Yeah I mean just look at China…so free!

And some people understand that massive wealth disparity is not economic freedom.

Capitalism is corrupted by greed same as communism is. What most non-Clinton drones on the left want is a capitalism that works to help everyone in society and as a group we ensure that greed is keep in check so people do not make profit off the suffering of others. If you are not for same thing then so sad for you.

Who said China is a free nation?

OK GWHIT, after the war the soviets erected walls, metaphorically the iron curtain to keep people from fleeing the collective.

if you read the links the DSA wants to end capitalism for public ownership of the means of production, it just seems so far that all socialist movements end in dictatorships

Sarcasm does not come through well in text form :sweat_smile:

Just look at those oppressive Danes.

The DSA can say whatever it wants it’s not ending capitalism in this country that’s a pipe dream and fodder for the rubes that just want to get fired up over made up boogeymen.

And not that it matters but the Soviets didn’t practice communism they were totalitarians which sold the idea of “communism” to take control.

DSA never said that, please don’t feed into the idiots false narrative. The goal that group has is really what our country is suppose to be, but right now we the people do not control our government a select few rich people do. The DSA just wants a government that caters to the working people and does not make laws to funnel money to the already rich. Not sure why so many GOP people like pay more taxes to subsidies oil companies or military contractors. I rather see it go to education or healthcare or even helping out cute little puppies. Bootz wants bombs not puppies he is mean man.

I know they did not say that and perhaps I should approach my posts that way. But I get a kick out of these trumpers that believe somehow the “libs” are going to END CAPITALISM GASP!

The absurdity of the “examples” they use and cite are also just mind numbingly moronic.

Crony Capitalism is the problem. Free market Capitalism is what made America prosperous and great.

How does Free market Capitalism differ from Laissez-faire Capitalism?

Or, are you in favor of Laissez-faire Capitalism?

There really is no such thing as Free Market Capitalism either. Well… not any form of it that we would really like anyway.

Bootz asked you for an example in history of unfettered capitalism. I gave one and skittered off somewhere. Was he embarrassed? :thinking:

and so will the dsa
