American Capitalism is not capitalism. It is a mix of socialism (half of peoples' income is stolen and redistributed by the state) and cronyism (political privilege is granted to some over others)

I've had this "that's not real socialism!" argument so many times I can't even

Socialism is basically "a set of regulations in a capitalist economy to prevent its excesses" such as billionaires getting ever richer off the backs of ordinary workers.

It goes COUNTER to wealth redistribution and it NEEDS a capitalist economy to even EXIST.

Can your tiny mind process even such basic information well enough to realize that socialism is almost perfectly opposed to communism?

Uh, is that supposed to be an ad hominem?

To me, you are only displaying learning disabilities, having maxed out on your ability to learn new insults in the second grade.

I know you want an argument, but I'm just not interested.

Maybe you can find someone else to get indignant over?

No, I want to EDUCATE. But you're just not interested in learning it seems.

You just called me a second grader and said I have learning disabilities. And you're going to educate me? I can't learn, remember?

Do you often persuade people to your side like this? Or do you get banned a lot?
