You think what we have now is capitalism?
Crony Capitalism maybe, but that's like saying Social Justice is actually Justice.
We had capitalism before what we have now, yes?
How did that work out?
What we have now isn't the fault of capitalism, it's the fault of corruption. No economic system works if the rules aren't applied evenly.
When'd the change from "capitalism" to "not capitalism" happen?
1913 or so.
We fell partially because our worship of economics and the almighty dollar was heralded as more important than borders, language, culture, and family.
I'm not sure those things were the cause of the fall or symptoms of the fall. We started heading fast to a broken system when we gave away the control of our own currency.
NOOOOOOOO THAT'S NOT REAAAAAL CAPITALISM REAL CAPITALISM WORKS
Capitalism collapses when faced with the real world, same as communism.
All economic systems collapse when the insiders aren't accountable. I seem to recall discussions about the "moral hazard" of bailing out the banks.
If nothing works what is the solution? You aren’t making much sense.
All I’m seeing is a troll.
Capitalism and communism aren't the only two economic systems in the world, you know.
Sure, I agree, which one would work best in your opinion? That’s what I’m trying to get out of you.
