Capitalism has been destroyed by corporatism, elitism and the donor class.
True capitalism would have ensured America was the dominant nation for 2000 years. Welcoming in China destroyed this prospect, among other challenges though it is largely self induced.
Remember, China will win, not because of communism though.
You think a small company started by a man with a dream is "elitism"?View attachment 944542
Capitalism IS
corporatism the collection of money into a single entity and a legal system that protects the owners while making them wealthy beyond all reason.
Elitism is the birthplace of capitalism. The elite have the resources to become capitalists.
donor class is just capitalists ensuring their legal protection.
Ladies and gentlemen...MAGAT "education"

No, we don't.When the next generations enter the workforce as mature citizens, they will inherit everything that the government has paid for and is indebted for. For example, they will 'own' our nations interstate highway system, the military, all government agencies, other infrastructure, the national parks. They then, with their votes, can dispose of these as they wish.
So, at the end of the day while the rich own the money, and their own stuff, the other citizens own all the rest.
Ultimately, capitalism is destructive to everything but the capitalist who wins in the end.Ultimately capitalism is good but it doesn't belong in medical care, education or food.
No system is perfect.
Jefferson, ay?It is sickening to see how many have been brainwashed and indoctrinated when it comes to "capitalism" vs our free market, free enterprise system.
The word “capitalism” was unknown to our founders. In fact it was used and popularized by Karl Marx to attack a free market system and put it in an evil light. By contrast, our founder’s often describe our system in a manner promoting a free market, free trade, or free enterprise ___ “free” being the operative word. For example see Thomas Jefferson : First Annual Message to Congress
”Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.”
I have never found our founders using the word “capitalism” to describe our system. In fact, the very reason for granting power to Congress to “regulate commerce” among the States was to protect and advance free trade among the States by forbidding one state taxing another state’s exports which passed through its borders. This is further illustrated in Article 1, Section 9 which declares: No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one States over those of another; nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one States, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.
But our progressive/socialist domestic enemies do not like the word “free” being used to describe our economic system because it is hard to attack the word “free” which clearly implies the people are to be “free” to engage in commerce and freely trade with their mutual consent ___ an original inalienable right of mankind. “Capitalism” on the other hand gives great latitude to cast America’s system in an evil light, particularly as a system manipulated by evil “Crony Capitalists”.

Oops.In total, of the more than six hundred people Jefferson enslaved, he freed only ten people – all members of the same family.
This doesn't even make any sense. Poverty is a feature of capitalist systems. You're poor because you don't have the money to purchase the things you need. Hunter Gatherers hunt and gather for things they need. I'm not sure how the context applies. Capitalism lifted people out of poverty because the system they came out of, feudalism, had them as serfs.capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other system,,
Social Capitalism.What economic system do you advocate for?
Unionism is the flip side of Capitalism on the economic coin.The capital of the poor is their labor. Properly managed it can do great things, especially in a free enterprise system.
There is no such thing as a free market. We don't have free resources in a capitalist system. Property itself is legalized force backed by the government. You can't get around the government creation of the market itself because you can't get around property itself being a creation of government.I don't even like the word capitalism. I like free markets. But if you say free markets and capitalism together, we don't have that. What we have, and what is being pawned off from behind the cloak of ''capitalism,'' is economic interventionism.
We have central planning by a central bank. We have a welfare state. A belief in deficit finance and inflationism.
And? Capitalism doesn't require stock prices to go up.What happens to a stock when it reports no revenue growth?
There ya go.
Should we discuss how the western/capitalist nations stripped those poor nations of resources?Haha... funny stuff.
The poor in western/capitalist nations are better off than 80% of the world population.
To be poor in America is like being wealthy in non capitalist societies
True that capitalism facilitates unbridled materialism, which is the real problem.But it's all driven by the capitalism engine.
Yeah, nothing other than the use of force to separate property owners from serfs. Just that one minor thing.Free market capitalism requires nothing beyond a stable legal framework that protects property rights.

It is more the fault of corrupt governments in those countries. The people there are no worse off for being pillaged of those resources than they would be otherwise.Should we discuss how the western/capitalist nations stripped those poor nations of resources?
No?
Why not?
uncomfortable?
Seems you're afraid to actually address the post.Are you being serious?? Hopefully not.
Holy shit dude, I really hope you are in grade school skipping today.
