[CrusaderFrank]

Um they'll turn back to Communism?

Or move forward to Socialism?

They think American progressives are the biggest fucking morons in the planet for embracing an economic system everyone else abandoned as a total failure

From the depths of your infinite ignorance, tell me where socialism has ever been practiced?

 

[boedicca]

Here's a clue Georgie: Elites have always conspired to control society, both politically and economically. Whenever the political system and economy are exclusive (meaning that average people have little opportunity to participate in policy decisions), then the Elites can rig the game in their favor. The U.S. still has a far more inclusive system than most societies, but the Prog-Big Government Elites are doing everything they can to consolidate control.

too stuipid as always. France England and American have been capitalist for 200 years and we are richer than ever so obviously China has nothing to worry about!

Now THAT is stupid.

That is historical fact George.
Merchant Capitalism has been practiced in Western Europe since the middle ages.
History for the past five hundred years is concerned with the development of capitalism in its various forms.

I believe you confused the period of feudalism/mercantilism with capitalism. Capitalism is a relatively recent economic system that arose because of the relatively high capital cost of participation in an industrial economy.

Why do you assume that progressives exclusively embrace socialism? That sounds like some bullshit from talk radio.

Do they believe in collectivism?
Do the believe in redistribution of goods?
Do they control production by bills they pass?
This is a form Socialism.

And no economic system ever devised gives elites more incentive and opportunity to rig the game in their favor than capitalism. Particularly the terminal phase of the disease known as finance capitalism.

Oh Puhleeze.

Capitalism is child's play compared to an absolute monarchy or a dictatorship.
