Bono, the lead singer of U2, said that he has realized the redistribution of resources won't help poor people the way that commerce and entrepreneurial capitalism will help them.

The iconic musician and humanitarian made the comments during an interview with the New York Times published Monday. He talked about starting out as a left-wing activist but eventually realizing that capitalism helps the most poor people.

"I ended up as an activist in a very different place from where I started. I thought that if we just redistributed resources, then we could solve every problem. I now know that’s not true," Bono explained.

"There’s a funny moment when you realize that as an activist: The off-ramp out of extreme poverty is, ugh, commerce, it’s entrepreneurial capitalism," he added. "I spend a lot of time in countries all over Africa, and they’re like, eh, we wouldn’t mind a little more globalization actually. I would point out that there has been a lot of progress over the years."

He went on to point out that businesspeople are heroes because they bring jobs to communities.

"Capitalism is a wild beast. We need to tame it," Bono said. "But globalization has brought more people out of poverty than any other -ism. If somebody comes to me with a better idea, I’ll sign up. I didn’t grow up to like the idea that we’ve made heroes out of businesspeople, but if you’re bringing jobs to a community and treating people well, then you are a hero. That’s where I’ve ended up."

He also said he doesn't like seeing people wear shirts with the visage of Che Guevara, the communist fighter who helped a dictatorship seize control of Cuba.

"I still don’t like Che Guevara T-shirts. [Expletive] Che Guevara," he said.

In a video he published about his charity work, Bono expressed similar sympathy to business and commerce.

"[We have a] snobby attitude about business and big business, we sort of demonize it," he said. "And actually, you know, you go to the developing world and jobs are the most dignifying thing that you could offer somebody. Because people have work, they can sort out their own problems."

Yea, Che was a murdering, racist, piece of crap

But Leftists are just as ignorant about him as they are about economics.


I guess we need to cancel Bono now.

He likes his private jet too much to be shitting on capitalism.

Yes!
Socially responsible Capitalism in which the great wealth of the country is shared.
Not America's greedy form of capitalism that has ensured the biggest income inequality in the entire world.

Does any truly socialist country even exist in the world?

It can't be Cuba or China because they both practice Capitalism.

Could it be America in which the greatest amount of military spending by the state is the best example of socialism on earth?
Do Americans not condone and wholeheartedly support that socialism, but reject any social spending by government that would benefit themselves?

So now he's all about Red Chinese labor and monopolies? All that time hanging out with the Davos Set and their looting made him a believer, did it? There is nothing 'entrepreneurial' about modern financial swindling. What Africans want is more free stuff from the U.S. and Europe; they want to see a big rivalry for their support between the U.S. and Red China, like they had in the Cold War era with the Soviets vs U.S.. Modern finance is imploding. Most 'innovation' in the U.S. is from govt. spending on research.

I love it!!! I responsibly share my wealth with all the producers I buy from.

Not America's greedy form of capitalism that has ensured the biggest income inequality in the entire world.

Greedy capitalism?

What are the 3 biggest differences between that and "Socially responsible Capitalism"?

Does any truly socialist country even exist in the world?

Can you define "truly socialist"?

 

[johngaltshrugged]

Benjamin Franklin was right about a lot but he told it like it is when it comes to a free market vs collectivist social welfare programs & income redistribution.
He correctly observed what the Bible told us all along- give a man a fish & you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish & he can feed himself

 

[1srelluc]

Honestly, did anyone really like U2?

 

[BackAgain]

Yes!

Bullshit. You’re babbling about socialism and everyone sees right through you.

 

[whitehall]

The freaking hypocrite is worth 600 million and at 62 he suddenly realized that capitalism ain't bad.

 

[Mac1958]

Good for him, and I’m glad to see the “wild beast” comment. He’s obviously clear-headed to understand that smart, efficient, effective regulation is not a bane of capitalism, but rather an absolutely critical COMPONENT of capitalism.

Smart capitalism. For a change. Needed now more than ever. Before one of the fucked up ends of our political spectrum wrecks it forever.

 

[BothWings]

Bono is a spokesman for the New World Order. After 2016 the New World Order realized it had to change it's sales pitch and FAST. So Bono's lines changed with the times.

Bono and the UN/New World Order were never about socialism. Their followers believe that. But it is nothing more than a promotion of globalist corporate control over all governments. That brand collectivism is made to LOOK like it's government but it's really the mega banks that own the governments of the world as part of their conglomerate. They buy their way into political parties like the American Democratic Party and try to take them over, paving the way for globalist corporate expansion. Disguised Fascism YES. Socialism my ASS.

Did Che murder as many as the dictator that he ousted?

Hard to say, but if not, he did his best to do so.
