Capitalism vs Socialism

Which Is Better: Socialism or Capitalism?

Some of my friends have questioned my past affiliation with the Democrat party. I understand the reason for their inquisitiveness. Nevertheless, let me say that there is no similarity between the party of old and the party of no...

the dems trying to bring almost total socialism to our shores. The govt controlling most means of production and distribution.

They want it because it won't effect them. The super rich and politicians will stay right where they are. They also want it because it will get them votes from the part of our society that is soft, lazy and weak willed that have no value to society so they want to drag society down to their level so they can feel like they have value.

Capitalism is what made America go from nothing to a major world super power in record time. It's the idea a man like Henry Ford or Jeff bezos can create something that not only advances our country and makes them rich, but it also creates jobs and purpose for hundreds of thousands of other people. Capitalism also creates competition, the competition between say apple and Microsoft to create differing and new offerings made technology grow by leaps and bounds.

Capitalism made America a strong, rich, prosperous and powerful country we all benefit from for hundreds of years. It's only become a problem recently but no one is able to explain how it's a problem.

No it wont, after a while the super rich become poor because the Dictator ends up with all the money and those who argue with him/her end up dead. Happens every time Socialism is accepted in a country.

What did chattel slavery and genocide contribute to the rise of American capitalism?

American Capitalism Is Brutal. You Can Trace That to the Plantation. (Published 2019)

"Slavery was undeniably a font of phenomenal wealth.

"By the eve of the Civil War, the Mississippi Valley was home to more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the United States.

"Cotton grown and picked by enslaved workers was the nation’s most valuable export.

"The combined value of enslaved people exceeded that of all the railroads and factories in the nation.

"New Orleans boasted a denser concentration of banking capital than New York City.

"What made the cotton economy boom in the United States, and not in all the other far-flung parts of the world with climates and soil suitable to the crop, was our nation’s unflinching willingness to use violence on nonwhite people and to exert its will on seemingly endless supplies of land and labor."

I'm not talking decades away, I'm talking right now. They support it now because it gets them votes now.

Oh Fuck, here we go again....

A fucking another idiot that is going to try and explain Socialism again...

Socialist Programs are Police, Military, Roads, Clean Air, Law Courts, Schools, Public Health Programs, Clean water.....
It is taxpayers money paying for services which everyone benefits from directly or indirectly.


Run on getting rid on them and win something... Then give us a ring...

It doesn't work that way. We have a Constitutionally limited government. That means the majority can only force its will on the rest of us in certain ways, as enumerated in the Constitution. That protects people who aren't in the majority from getting fucked at every turn.

Where in the constitution does it say you can't have Universal Healthcare? Free Education?...

I am pretty sure the Constitution allows it unless the it specifically bans it. Congress, Senate and President together can pass laws to allow or provide it...

BTW, where in the US Constitution does it say that you can't have socialist programs?

This is actually described in the the Constitution... Should read it sometime...

 

[dblack]

Where in the constitution does it say you can't have Universal Healthcare? Free Education?...

It's in the section where it doesn't authorize government to control healthcare or education.

It's also reiterated in the Tenth Amendment, for those who didn't get it in the first place.

I am pretty sure the Constitution allows it unless the it specifically bans it.

Nope. Read some history.

It's clear enough. Look it up, be responsible for being edcuated.

Or do you mean "Another fucking idiot?"

Before you start calling people "a fucking another idiot", might want to do some soul searching first.

Well run on getting rid of all Socialist Programs, here is a list of a few of them:
Police (FBI, Secret Service...)
Military,
Roads (Federal ones),
Regulating Water (Making it clean and available),
Federal Law Courts,
Air traffic Control
Public Health policy
State Dept

Could keep going and the constitution does mention a few of them...

The lack of all social programs just lead to anarchy...

Back in 1776 the country went to war against a Tyrannical government that had the most powerful army in the world, over a three cent tax on tea.

And then started enacting taxes to pay for the war.
