Capitalism seen doing 'more harm than good' in global survey

[wamose]

This is the result you get when all the people you are polling are socialist-communist Democrats.

Golden Rice and Monsanto.

Brainless drivel the OP is.

 

[daveman]

No, not anyone. Voting for a "free shit for illegals" Democrat would not improve the situation, and only make it worse.

As long as you continue to vote for those who do nothing that is what you are going to get until someone gets in promising to do the opposite of what you want.

Given the current choices, I'll vote Trump.

Sure, and the problem will get bigger and bigger and bigger until someone comes along to make them legal.

Meanwhile, you haven't given me any alternatives.

There are always alternatives. The alternatives start long before the elections. If Trump's numbers were in the gutter alternatives would start up.

But Trump gives a speech, does nothing else and people cheer.

Still not hearing a name. Don't have any suggestions, do you?

..... and meanwhile...... YOU have not given us any alternatives.

"there are always alternatives"... no there are not.

Honestly, if the Democrats had run someone like James Trafficant (yes he's dead now, but someone like him)... I would have very much considered voting Democrat.

Instead they have been running the garbage candidates like Warren (There is always more money!) and a 1,000 year old mummified communist that got kicked out of his own commune, and is now a millionaire that runs around saying other millionaires are the reason we are not all millionaires.

You have an entire other political party to find an alternative to Trump. Shut up and do it, or stop talking about it.

When a few billionaires control most things, that’s not surprising.

So what? What does that matter to anything?

 

[Andylusion]

It's hard to argue this one way or another as Capitalism isn't really practiced anywhere.

What are you smoking.

I was reading about a guy in China, that under communism, was starving in one of their farming camps. After liberalization, he started getting corrugated iron sheets from landfills, and selling them to the poor people as roofing material. He now runs a billion dollar roofing company, and is a billionaire in China.

Do you call that socialist or capitalist? If that isn't capitalist, then I don't know what you would call it.

I explained why. Those who are lied to tell the one that lied to them that they still love them.

Kinda like the abused spouse thing.

You don't have to accept the lies but you will. There are always options. I have vote write in before.

Interesting....someone convicted for corruption. I see a pattern here.

There is more to the world than (R) and (D). I feel sorry for those unable to see this.

You read.......lol. I read that Trump bailed out farmers. Where do we find this in Capitalism?

 

[whitehall]

The first time in two decades that the mysterious international company "Edelman Trust Barometer" has questioned the concept of capitalism? More democrat party polling nonsense?

Really? If you can’t see the obvious harm in this, I can’t help you.

Sure, show me someone with James Trafficant's ideals, who isn't corrupt.

I personally voted for the Constitutionalist party in 2016. You still have not provided an alternative. I feel sorry for people who can't see the failure of their own position.

Venezuela has very few billionaires, and people are starving and dying.
China had very few wealthy people prior to the 1980s, and literally hundreds of thousands were living on less than a dollar a day.

Today China has tons of wealthy people, and the standard of living across the entire country is rising.

Your position is that it's better off for everyone to be poorer as long as the rich are not richer... is obviously a ideology that harms people. If you can't see that, then no one anywhere can help you.

We don't.... and I never suggested that Trump was an ideologue, nor a champion of capitalist ideals. One of the primary reason I did not vote for Trump in 2016, is because I thought for sure he'd be pushing government run health care, and more control over the market.

So.... you fail. I don't support any bailouts anywhere. The conservatives didn't support bank bailouts in 2009 either.

Conservative Republicans offer bailout alternative

In fact, the Tea Party which was generally a conservative movement, was a backlash against the bailouts.

Capitalism does not involve government either paying for, or bailout out, business. If that happens, it isn't capitalism.

Why do you want transnational billionaires controlling your government and mainstream media? Think about it.

 

[there4eyeM]

"Capitalism" is not the problem. "Socialism" is not a problem. Greed, avarice, egoism and extreme materialism are the problem(s).
Any economic system would work where those participating did so in a sense of familial caring.
When it is recognized that we are all related and that what is good for 'you' is good for 'me', vast problems will evaporate.
If that is never recognized, all the problems will be resolved by our species' disappearance.

Even then its only held up with Socialist programs.
