Capitalism gets an undue bad rep but lefties won't read this anyway.
Capitalism takes a lot of abuse from people who just don't understand it. It gets falsely accused of being synonymous with greed. If you really think about it why is it greedy to not want to be stolen from? Isn't it more greedy to take other people's money and give it away instead of giving your own away? How exactly is capitalism built on greed? Sure there will always be greedy people on this planet but they are not only found in one system.
Capitalism is somehow bad because of the employee employer relationship? This is somehow worse than working for the man. Can you really get ahead working for either? However capitalism is the only system that offers the opportunity to work for yourself or maybe as part of a Co-op.
Fascism is somehow linked to capitalism how? If the tenets of the right are smaller govt, lower taxes, and less govt interference in our affairs how does a big state in bed with big business controlling our lives fit within those tenets. Simple it doesn't.
If you are going to claim right wing conservatism then you should at least know what it is. If you are a liberal lefty you should at least know what you are fighting against.
Whatever the case may be it's a lot more nuanced than you're meme posted. North Korea is also ran by a man who says he doesn't poop or pee.
Nevertheless North Korea is a socialist dictatorship and South Korea has freedom. Venezuela is another example of socialism at its finest.
I feel to many try to use only 2 categories to define people. I have leanings to both sides, right and left, extreme right and extreme left, but most all my ideologies/beliefs are centric. I have a problem with capitalism because it is too easy to game. Just look around you at the corporate gaming of the capitalistic system currently. Capitalism should not mean corporate servitude just as fascism does not have to only originate with governments. Our cultures are so easily guided by entities that are purposed to be knowledgeable, fair, truthful, and balanced.
Neither "side" is right, and those sides only represent a small number of people, the rest are just sheeple following a loud voice. Pathetic as it is, it is the way or culture has worked for 30+ years now.
Humans have a long ways before we can be considered "grown up" as a species.
@flemingfarm What do you mean by to game?
The problem with our current system is not capitalism but the statism that is trying to interfere with the capitalism. As I said less govt interference is necessary for the system to work.
Fascism defined is when govt and big business are in bed together. It makes the capitalist system lopsided and causes all the problems.
Socialism is clearly wrong and capitalism is the only real alternative and it's freedom. The only reason people don't like capitalism is because they either don't know what it is or because they are lazy and want to benefit from someone else's hard work. We really only have two options either we are free or we are enslaved. Under socialism we are enslaved...
