The UK govt has taken over a G4S prison because the G4S couldn't run it properly.

Louisiana, Prisons for Profit, and World's Highest Incarceration Rate

Louisiana's private prison system is the envy of nobody anywhere. It's a system that encourages reoffending, because it earns the prisons more money.

Yep, capitalism is always best... except when it isn't.

That's your example , private prisons???

it's difficult at best to take someone seriously when they cherry pick ONE instance and declare an entire platform "bad, m'kay". both sides love to find the worst example of things they hate and then parade it around as if that rare occurrence is anything more than a rare occurrence.

in most of these cases i'll prefer the system that lets me choose for myself what to do. socialism and MOAR gov won't be that answer in most instances.

Not many, because it has been the observation that socialism is a catastrophic failure everywhere where it's been tried. Yet you are cheering for it here, because you are a jackass.

Captialism has been a catastrophic failure in most of the places it's been tried, in case you missed 1929 and 2008, among others.

JoeB131- so you think capitalism failed because the country which largely employed it survived economic crisis?. DUMB DE DUMB DUMB DUMB!

Even in the middle of the crisis, the biggest health problem turns out to be obesity.

Of course, those crises were government created, but even if they weren't that doesn't mean capitalism isn't an overwhelming success.

And I just explained that the state hiring private firms to carry out social functions of government is state capitalism.

Frigidweirdo- it’s called capitalism, not Utopianism. No system will be perfect because they will all be populated by imperfect people. Your post show just how small minded you are. You are incapable of understanding nuance or subtlety.

It's Just Socialism Is Incentive
To Be Less Productive, And Less Deserving

Socialism Takes Advantage Of Envy/Entitlement
And Creates More Of It

Capitalism is always better than Venezuela. Come back to me when you don't have access to toilet paper and have to eat the family pets if not children to survive.

Also, feel free to get the fck out of our nation. This nation is capitalist, read the constitution. There are plenty of shit holes to choose from for you. Instead of wanting to make the country in your miserable sorry ass image, go to a country that already is that way.

But it doesn't wait long ...

Yes it does, you see there are workers, earning a wage replacing the bread.

Or... maybe you need to switch the store you are going. Don't eat that.

It's not a new concept. I didn't invent it. The terminology has been in use since the end of the 19th century.

I'm sure it is. But I didn't cherry pick and then declare an entire platform bad.

I'm a capitalist, not a socialist. At no point did I say capitalism was bad and should be got rid of. I said these were examples of when capitalism isn't the best.

Why do I say this? Because I'm not a partisan hack. Because I can look at things objectively and see what the best way of dealing with something is, without having a little -ism in my head saying it should be done in this manner.

Actually socialism is SOME cases can allow choice.

Take the UK. You can choose between the NHS or you can choose private healthcare. Either choice you make, if you get seriously ill, you know you'll get taken care off to a certain extent.

In the US what choice to people have? Join the military and risk their life to get healthcare. Become rich to be able to afford decent healthcare. Get fucked over and hope for the best.

Better choice in the UK.

Prisons. Do we need choice with prisons?

Trains? I'm not actually a supporter of nationalized trains. Saying that the German train system I've used quite a bit and is part nationalized and part privatized. In the UK they went for a system that isn't logical at all. I'd prefer it either totally capitalist, the train operators rent the tracks from the government, but competing companies can run on the same tracks.

So, my post was about capitalism not always being the best option, and I stand by that, no matter who the hell tries to interpret what I say in a twisted manner.

It's like I type stuff, and you either don't read it, or you don't understand it.

Do you actually know what I'm talking about, or do you just hear "blah blah blah" inside that head of yours?

 

[frigidweirdo]

What is left is trying to make everything the best it can be.

There's nothing worse than taking an -ism and deciding that everything has to be done by the rules of the -ism without using your head to find the best route.

Healthcare, is it better socialist, better capitalist, or better part socialist and part capitalist?

If the latter, what percentage? Which parts are better capitalist and which parts better socialist?

Prisons? Better capitalist? Socialist? Or a combination of both?

Yes, we've done a wonderful job of punishing Venezeula for 18 years now for picking a form of government we don't like.

Punishing them? Everyone I Hollywood love it, until it was a disaster that we all knew was coming.
The government is great at running everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! said no one intelligent ever.

Capitalism is not always better. He has given you examples of that. Why do you feel the need to show how uncouth you are ?

Show me a socialist country that is better than the US.

And after you have shown it. What's keeping you here?

Define better.

The U.K. takes over the operation of a prison? How is this an argument against capitalism? It's getting weird out there.
