Have you heard that capitalism is absolutely smashing poverty? Have you seen this graph? The line goes down impressively. Capitalism is not perfect, but at least things are going in the right direction. Just give it some more time. Right? WRONG.

“Socialism doesn’t understand human nature” — Economist who has never opened a sociology or anthropology book in their lives.

History isn’t a 100-meter dash with everyone on the same starting line. You judge socialist programs by what they inherited and how much they improved it. Cuba, for instance, went from being United Fruit’s sugar plantation under Batista to 100 % literacy and infant-mortality…

Counterpoint, the history book says that capitalism is a system of class subjugation by the control of the land as a commodity which was based on enclosure and colonization, and it shows me that when Guatemala did land reform the US did a CIA coup killing 250,000 over decades.

OP blocked me, did he block you?

merrit system. solves that. but in capitalism the hardest worker doesn't get the merrit. One who had capital from father employes the hard worker, and gets credit for other peoples hard work.

Cwpitslsm does not work as it is bullying for profit. Free market works as it is competition, socialism works as it is care about your tribe. Combined they give you China economy today.

Rent is revenue through enclosure - that is the oppodite of "making available." Rentier enclosure seeks a perpetual return. It reduces demand and contributes to the unproductive Capital gains that liberals treat as "wealth". It is capitalism eating itself.

This person has a great thing here. A great trope. An antidote to some of the capitalism propaganda.

So the risk is to become someone that they claim is not in a bad position at all? How could this risk possibly have so much value if the problem is to just become someone they claim can become themselves easily?

Holocaust survivor @DrGaborMate on Israel’s starvation of Gaza: It's difficult to watch starvation anywhere, particularly when it involves children. It's even more difficult to watch when you know that it's engineered, it's planned, it's deliberately perpetrated.

ISRAELI MINISTER ADMITS TO GENOCIDAL INTENT "Starving 2 million Gazans is just and moral" - Israeli official This isn't war - it's a calculated extermination. And the West funds it.

Gabor knows a weaponised starvation project when he sees it. Increasingly, everyone sees it. Except Western governments that, in the face of public outrage over Israel's genocide, issue strong-ish words in order NOT to take ANY action against the genocidal apartheid state.

I think the real problem "left" liberals have with us Communists is... The fact that we're Communists. We are Communists like Stalin. We are Communists like Mao. We are Communists like Lenin. We are Communists like Foster. And we do not apologize for it.

Grok, of course, is a capitalism propagandist. I saw glimmers of hope that it could be critical of capitalism in the past few months, but that seems to be 100% gone now. Just echoing the same old tired propaganda lies as the other capitalism defending bots here.

Where is this magical surplus of housing, vehicles, food, utilities, medical care, education? If Capitalism creates such abundance why has every single essential good and service become more scarce?

No, we the working class lack the capital. Not "IQ" fuck you.

The entire world needs to impose an embargo on the US and then point and laugh at it when they have no meat or eggs, asking "if Capitalism is so great, why you hungry", like it does with every country it sanctions.

No it's capitalism where hard work gets a wage that lets you eat until the next day when hard work gets a wage that lets you eat until the next day when hard work gets a wage that lets you eat until the next day when hard work gets a wage that lets you eat until the next day...

These MFs. Wow you think you know me, asshole? What a complete idiot and asshole you are for thinking you know me. I've worked roofing in the summer and scaffolding in the winter with ice on there, and everything in between. I don't pretend to know you, do me the same asshole.
