Shall we list the countries destroyed by capitalism?

Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc etc?



No, (and you left out Bahrain, Yemen and Libya)....they were destroyed by the military might of USA.INC and their proxy army ISIS/al qaeda. "Crony capitalism" is simply socialism in it's most despotic form.

It's so funny how liberals take it so personally when socialism is attacked. They immediately have to spring to its defense by attacking capitalism. Libs hate capitalism just as much as they do Christians and whites.
 
Capitalism in the US just recently created The Bush Great Recessoin, and 20 trillion dollars of debt. The US has a president that hands out government jobs to his friends and family like candy on Halloween. He colluded with a foreign adversary to fix the US election. And he and his allies in Congress are working on a tax cut that will cut taxes on the poor by $40 but cut taxes on wealthy people by $1,000,000.

Yeah that shit is working like a well oiled machine in America.

All successful governments are a mix of Capitalism and Socialism. There aren't any Americans volunteering to pay for and pave their own roads, they expect the Society collectively to pay for that. One example out of thousands. People don't equate roads with 'socialism' because they've always been there. Someone has to pay for them, and 95% of the population could not afford to pay for even a 1/4 mile of a paved road.

Everyone that believes they are pure capitalists you need to pry your lips off the socialist teet first. The video in the OP is simple minded and directed at simple minded people. Corruption leads to debt and disaster? Yeah no shit, just check with Wallstreet in September 2008.

many of the same people who attack capitalism deny that they're socialists.

They also love to declare how fuckin "educated" they are compared to people who work for a living. Nevermind how successful some working class folks manage to become before leftist sociopaths figure a way to regulate and tax their endeavors until it's no longer prosperous. Libturd pseudo intellectuals stifle prosperity. They continue to do so all over the world in spite of the fact that regressive policy has yet to create the sort of economic jaugernaut the US became before marxist drones began undermining the labor force through the politics of hate and envy.

So people who are educated don't work for a living? Lol.

I don't think educated people are better than non-educated people. But these pro capitalist politicians tend to prey on the uneducated. Republicans in particular.

They've managed to convince some poor people that giving more tax breaks to the wealthy will eventually trickle down to them.
 
This video is obviously a propaganda piece. Socialism didn't Brazil. The corrupt government and extreme poverty did.

If they were actually practicing socialism, they wouldn't have people living in dumpsters. It sounds more like capitalism to me.

I don't think any country should be solely capitalist or solely socialist. But a mix of both is good.

America is definitely a place that needs a bit more socialism. People need to be given tools so they can exceed. Like healthcare and a university degree.

It's funny how you'll jump to 100 wrong conclusions at the same time.

I'm not a Socialist and I don't like Socialism.

The point I was making was that just because Venezuela isn't working, doesn't mean it's because of Socialism at all. Partly it's due to the people in charge. Maduro is an idiot, he's your typical nonsense politician who's more interested in being in charge than actually doing anything useful, he's a bit like Jeremy Corbyn in the UK, another muppet Socialist who is very good at playing the game, but wouldn't be able to run a kids' birthday party.

People will say that Socialism doesn't work, but all systems can fail. It's not that hard. You get the US going around the world bullying other countries, not giving a damn about other countries as long as they get what they want. Does Syria work right now? Hell no it doesn't, and that's due to things like the US destabilizing the region. Oh, how great Capitalism works, hey.

Perspective dude, that's what I'm offering, you're offering bad assumptions.

Socialism is the main reason why Venezuela is falling apart.

A similar playbook has happened in many countries.

Which makes the assumption that a good socialist leader would have led them down the exact path they are on now. I don't agree with that. I think their main problems are because of their leadership being awful. Maduro is not Chavez.

But had the price of oil not dropped, then Maduro probably wouldn't be having so many problems either. When you have an economy which has, quite frankly, been fucked over by the US for so long, then the economy might have been better, and might have been able to cope without relying heavily on oil. But it did, and Chavez got elected because he promised hope of getting out of the US's shadow.

It's a complex situation, and one where you can't just blame it on Socialism. And I think Socialism is mostly unworkable. However I also support things like socialized healthcare, police, armed forces etc.
 
Oh, now the Hawk's going off on one with the funny button. Christ, is this High School or something?
 
Yes conservatives hate socialism. It's been revealed around here in the past few days that the conservative consensus is that we should get rid of socialist programs helping poor children, such as Medicaid and public education,
punishing, as it were, the children for existing,

in order to discourage poor people from having babies.

IOW, now even so-called compassionate conservatism is leftism.
