Space Commander Travis Posted April 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is why American politics is the state it is. You can never possibly have a rational discussion about anything other than the automatic assumption that American style capitalism is the way, the truth and the life without everything immediately going hysterically over the top and people bringing out the hammer & sickle. Alex Jones can always be relied on to give a fair and unbiased view. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunn Posted April 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Why is socialism hell? Capitalism is even worse. Naw man, it's not Capitalism, it's the crony greedy capitalists in the past that "F" the system up. Like some of the banks, Bernie Madoff, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Br Cornelius Posted April 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) The only thing that really needs to be said is that all flavours of Utopia are the road to hell paved with good intentions. I think its just immature to single out our own bugbear flavour for criticism. Br Cornelius Edited April 12, 2016 by Br Cornelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMountainKid Posted April 12, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yes, let's not help anyone, let's just let Capitalism run uncontrolled. The Corporate States of America is the result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Br Cornelius Posted April 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yes, let's not help anyone, let's just let Capitalism run uncontrolled. The Corporate States of America is the result. But capitalism is just another Utopia, always just over the hill - never quite pure enough. Who cares if a few poor people die to get us to the goal - it will be worth it. Replace capitalism with your own pet hate in the above sentence. I particularly like Christianity myself Br Cornelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence a quack like Trump gets to be the "hope for America".... you just have to consequently think that thought to its last consequence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted April 12, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Why is socialism hell? Capitalism is even worse.

Skulduggery Posted April 12, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I support capitalism with the right checks and balances. I support being optimistic about a seemingly impossible ideal future as long you fight for it. This shouldn't exactly be outright quote mining to include this..

EnderOTD Posted April 13, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Why is socialism hell? Capitalism is even worse. Yes, full blown capitalism is hell, but full blown socialism has always failed as well. There seems to be a certain balance between the two that has worked for the betterment of society. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamato Posted April 13, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Starting the same thread twice with the hope of a different result? Or hoping to double her pleasure? "Socialism" is a wildly popular Strawman around here lately. I support capitalism with the right checks and balances. So long as the forces regulating it aren't corrupt. So the first step shouldn't be to stick it to the markets, it's to eradicate the corruption in the regulatory bodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidhead Posted April 13, 2016 #21 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Democracy works just fine as long as the minorities and women aren't allowed to vote. But they're allowed and and they go and ruin everything! I'd be fine with allowing them to continue to vote on one exception: white males are allowed two votes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
