In response, the USSR received very important industrial products, for example, machine tools, which then worked throughout the war against nazies.
By the way, some very big US companies continued to trade with Germany even after the outbreak of the war, up to D-day through neutrals. Very patriotic!

That sounds like pure horseshit. Can you document it?

In USA

Wrong. Government prints it, moron.

Be more specific.

Federal Reserve System

Federal Reserve System

The Fed isn't private capital.

You have the same opportunity to buy, you just can't buy the same amount.

With less money comes less opportunity to buy.

Yes, individuals respond to incentives.

What's the incentive for greed?

You can buy with $100.....you can buy with $1,000,000.

You tell me.

You get the prize for the dumbest question ever asked in this forum.

Under capitalism, children are taught from an early age about the need for success, and not about the pursuit of happiness. As a result, when they grow up, they are eager to exchange a full life for a shaky sense of superiority. In pursuit of this chimera, the absolute majority burns down. The result of their life is disappointment.

Under communism, children are taught from an early age about the impossibility of success, and how to live with unhappiness.

None of your claims can be proven, dumbfuck.

Circling back to the topic, I couldn't agree more. Capitalism is NOT democratic - it doesn't work on the premise of "majority rules". Likewise Democracy isn't "capitalistic". The OP has correctly distinguished between two largely unrelated nouns, and has proven that Democracy ≠ Capitalism. A a stunning achievement, a rhetorical triumph, a pronouncement for the ages.
