Some Important Points to Ponder

[Capitalist Lawyer]

I don't have to buy any evil MNC's product

You have the right to tell your boss that he's an asshole all you want, but he also has the right to hire people that are positive and are team players. There are consequences to life, or have you guys forgotten that?

Capitalism gives access to anyone who wants to work hard, etc. Communism/Socialism allows everyone to be equally poor and stand in the same lines for cheese while the government officials have all the cash, goods, and food. Russia, China, North Korea... wow, great examples of people's rights, eh? Have you had to stand in front of a tank today?

When Sam Walton can go from being a wage earning grocery store clerk to wealthy Wal-Mart owner in a single generation, individual rights to do what one can imagine is self evident.

The beauty of capitalism is that if your boss really IS a prick, and you know how to do things better, you are more than free to go and prove it by beating his business model.

It's the only argument they got! :lol:


Capitalism gives access to anyone who wants to work hard

So why so many unemployed? All the people who are looking for work but can't find any, that could otherwise be producing goods to benefit humanity, not a few capitalists. And all the food that goes to waste because no one buys it at the grocery store, while hundreds of millions of people starve to death? We could produce enough food to feed all the world's people, but are the cappies going to? No, because capitalists produce things for profit, and no capitalist is going to profit from saving people from starvation. But look at all the businesses that went to Iraq to profit from "building democracy" while innocent people are bombed because the u$ invaded the country on a couple of lies, like saying that saddam had WMDs (the u$ gave him chem weapons) while they increase the radiation levels, cancer, and birth defects there thanks to depleted uranium used in munitions.


Russia, China, North Korea... wow, great examples of people's rights, eh?

In the words of comrade_mufasa:


FOR THE LAST TIME. THOSE NEVER WERE, ARE NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE COMMUNIST :angry:

Communism/Socialism allows everyone to be equally poor

Though the two ideologies are completly different. Strictly speaking, every ideology allows people to be equally poor.


and stand in the same lines for cheese while the government officials have all the cash, goods, and food.

But there&#39;s no government in a communist society... <_<

The only real difference is that you claim that you will not have a government and that won&#39;t matter the result will still be the same.

USSR/China/Blah: Dictatorships with strict central control. Socialism, maybe, at best

Communism: Stateless, classless society

[Sirion]

Not even socialist. State capitalistic states, who though anuthoritan means tried to develop their nation into advanced capitalist nations quickly, for so to skip to socialism. In the meanwhile, the government grew into the new upper class.

Not communist, not socialist, but state capitalist.
