Having lived in both communism (in Russia) and capitalism (in Germany), I have a way better life with the latter.

A hilarious event as Capitalism is not a very popular in this day and age. Given how many people are suffering under it currently.

Communism is worse, especially when "implemented properly".

alot worse and the only reason capitalism isnt popular is because of the mandated goverment socialism bogging everything down. most people have too many experiences where they get passed up by a gender or race qouta hire or have no health issues and are forced to pay into a system that doesnt benfit them or worse need something like dental and cant get it because insurance was a welfare expansion with ♥♥♥♥ like obama care where no actual reforms where made while mandating everyone use it.

its not capitalism and in the best cases its cronnie capitalism.

-there is nothing about tax rights offs for qouta hires in capitalism.
-it makes no sense to pull the ladder up behind you with capitalism.
-it makes all the sense in the world to factory farm trees for paper instead of cutting down the rainforest with captialsim.

if there was anything ive learned talking to people about this crap its that the socialists just wanna be welfare parasites and live like rich people while doing it. i am one of those people health wise targeted and im also one of those people who can never get any help from the systems they implement.

most of the things they do now to stimulate the economy arent needed in the first place with actual capitalism because they are making a killing anyways.

Capitalism or communism, both result in exploitation of the weak by the powerful.

People arguing in favor of either are just arguing over which boot tastes better, left or right.

The difference is that communism exploited all but the 1% who are in the top and you could do nothing about it.

With capitalism you can change job. We also have rules on what employers can do and can't do.

["Twas'G'lorious"]

not saying that intelligence shouldn't be rewarded, but some are impossible to educate and it isn't their fault. they get chucked at the bottom of the pyramid holding the rest of societies burdens up to make life simpler and easier for the upper class, while they get crapped on and treated like a machine. wearing their bodies out and breaking their backs for everyone, only to get tossed aside like garbage by the system for something they couldn't help in the first place. those that do the dirty work for the system, doing all the things that no one else dare, tread in place and end up nowhere without their health. the only answer the system can provide to those that suffer this is "you should have stayed in school and you wouldn't be suffering" when most of them had a learning disability to begin with and it was never their fault.

Except when the punishment for doing what they “can’t” is only monetary, they just see it as a cost of doing business and continue to do it anyway.

capitalism is 'the king maker' and is the only ideal in human history that has allowed the poor little worthless slave to climb up social rank through hard work and maybe a good idea

Well, the industrial revolution was just as much a king maker. Science as we know it, medicine ,and the industrial revolution that resulted from the scientific one, were just as instrumental, probably more.

In theory people could collaborate like they did on all this without needing capitalism, but that's where we ended up because it's all a big complicated soup and someone figured they had to fix work to reward via a bookkeeping system to make sense of it all. In simplified terms.

Those are the good parts. And then there's how it conversely allowed for the sort of systematic reaping by the few from the work of the many through such numerous intermediaries that an average person simply can't keep up with what's going on while putting food on the table. And a few crashes that people in the future will look back at as absolute, utter insanity - all the stuff and all the people were sitting around, but their nontangible book numbers crashed and suddenly they were incapable of using their stuff. Pretty pathetic.

We've abused science too, and the technology that resulted from it, and medicine is in some places a patented ransom.

People ignore, people abuse.

And all that being said, capitalism isn't very popular in many circles. Imho. it's well deserved in many ways, but it also tends to slight over how none of this would've happened - capitalism or not - if certain people weren't greedy, ignorant sociopaths and fully grown children.

people wanting capitalism should be
separate from people that just want
a good life...

all the essential services are communism already
but capitalism gets to become rich on making people
chase imaginary or non existent goals... we cant all be maria carey

we need this amount of food and home products
this amount of shelter
this amount of services

people do have dollar values
and minimum needs... budgets are made knowing this information

why are people supporting misery and the miserable people that keep it going...

why are we not supporting people who want to make our lives and world better...

People wanting capitalism already are separated from communist countries. The real question is why aren't commies travelling in mass to countries like North Korea, China, and Vietnam to actually live what they claim they want.

Because they're afraid to admit that all the communist countries right now are horrible authoritarian governments that don't allow them to be fruity. I wouldn't want to live there, nobody does. They would rather convert US because they believe communism works in a democratic society, but it doesn't. It doesn't solve all the problems. It's not going to eliminate world hunger.
