Except Socialism is mandatory. Capitalism is at will. If you don't like what you're being paid, you can quit or start your own company.

Socialism/Communism is not negotiable.

We don’t live under capitalism right now. We’re under a sick perversion of it.

In a truly free market, the government wouldn’t have the authority to determine if you can own a business or not (business licenses). Corporations wouldn’t exist, since they’re government-controlled entities (must be registered and approved by gov’t). It’d be

In a real free market you’d have more local/small businesses and inability of big business affecting policies that crush competition

You forgot the beginning.

In a free market you cannot decide the value of money by printing it.

Lol. These people are morons.

If the boss gets $7, then $6.95 of that goes back into the company so that they continue to have a fucking job.

To make it a capitalist analogy, you'd have to change it slightly.

Mom makes deal with neighbor to clean her bathroom for $20.

She then assigns the job to the kids and pays them $10 and keeps $10 for herself.

Now continue with the example above...

Yeah, but in this analogy the mom isn't "doing nothing". I'd argue that had the mom not made the connection or deal with the neighbor in the first place, the job wouldn't exist as the kids would not have known about it. She basically traded social currency to create an opportunity which she then contracted out.

And that is not even what happened. What happened was the lazy bum on the side got the money. The boss was the parent. They are idiots.

They wouldn't be socialists if they were intelligent.

Amen! Someone downdooted you though not being intelligent does not mean utterly stupid. It is not like they are all a bunch of complete morons, just that they are full of artificial intelligence, ie, fake news, lies. They are Gullible for sure. Many are, in fact, stupid. Some are simply lacking intel & intelligence alike. Amen/agreed.

That's such a perfect response. Just as a child has no comprehension of what the parents must do to provide and maintain the household, this socialist has no comprehension what a business owner must do to create and maintain the business.

Many businesses do pay their employees much less than they should and those businesses will succeed during economic hardship, they're set because everyone needs work!

With the economy booming and options everywhere you can leave one place to go to another that will treat you right. Eventually the lesson will be learned.

Unfortunately NOBODY stands for what's right. Personally, I can't wait for the purges. Those of us left will be stranding up for what's right, with the weak either killed off or forced to learn to not be a fucking pussy

Owner : Pays thousands to set up a work shop. Hire a kid, train him, teach him how to build shit, buy material and tech designs. Finally make contacts to sell your shit.

Kid: receive everything, complain that you don’t get half the profits

Left wing people will literally deny the reality they see with their own two eyes in order for it to fit in their political ideology. Facts.

The business owner took a risk built something and as such deserves the lion's share. Anyone can do it. Many businesses aren't profitable for the first 12 month. During that period most business owner will pay their employees before themselves. They'll sacrifice everything for a chance at success. The employees risk nothing.
