So instead, they go full retard by adopting communism.

What do you want? They aren't being educated correctly, they don't know history, so they repeat it.

So either we get extreme full on communism or entirely unfettered capitalism? You need to get out more if you think that is the only way things can be.

I don't endorse either of those positions.

I think capitalism works pretty well but it's not perfect. Which is why it has to be regulated. Regulated capitalism that also provides a welfare state is the closest we will get to a utopia. But idiots want full blown socialism/communism or unregulated free markets where corporations can do whatever they want. Fuck that.

No, they are anti-capitalist because their government education and marxist teachers and TV have taught them to be one.

Yes and recognizing it is important, but equally important is not to fall into the trap of the world of the false promises of Marxism. National socialism is the only economy that can actually deliver and keep people happy and on good footing, unlike capitalism and communism which have the same result

We should probably get some smart young enthusiastic people in leadership positions...

instead of all these worn out old useless irrelevant rich asshole politician scum of the earth! lol

We definitely need term limits to cut down on corruption a bit. We absolutely do not need more morons like AOC in office

Funny how all the horrors of capitalism they cry about can be traced back to democrat pushed social policies. Oh did government guaranteed student loans and government grants to all minorities push the cost of college up?! Shocking, must be capitalism.

Yeah. Housing crashed bc of fanny mae and fanny mac give people who could never get a house loan from banks free money. Then when people with no jobs or low income jobs couldn't pay their mortgage. The whole system came down lol. Yet democrats decide to protect banks that made stupid decisions too. Same with other things like you said, federal loans for college that made it way more expensive. My dad in the 60s paid off his college tuition with a summer job in 2 summers. That's how it should be. Same with health care. We keep moving more towards socialised health care and it just gets worse and more expensive and they never try to revert to market health care. Just keep getting closer to the edge.

Capitalism is not the problem - capitalism is great.

It's the lack of actual socialism that is the problem.

No, not COMMUNISM. You can't tell the difference? That's right, you've been brainwashed.

I once conflated capitalism and industrialism as being one and the same. Breaking that conditioning has been a challenge, there is so much crap writing out there done on these subjects.

I know that many people, young and old, have the same issue with communism and socialism.

That's not real capitalism. Real capitalism has never been tried.

Oh of course, corruption in capitalist societies is capitalisms fault, while corruption in socialist/communist ones is unrelated to the fact that more power is concentrated in fewer hands.

If you can't pay rent it's because you're lazy or ignorant. These people have it wayyy better than the last but they spend all day comparing themselves to rich people and being jealous.
