The only reason that socialism appears to work for any length of time is because it's riding on the back of capitalism. The only reason that socialism works is because it has capitalism to support it. And once that socialism verges into full blown communism, totalitarianism, it quickly becomes apparent that it doesn't.

There are no communist countries that have become more prosperous because of communism. Communism has not made one single country more prosperous. It's never happened.

Capitalism has made the entire world more prosperous. Capitalism has allowed for some countries to operate under some guise of socialism for at least a little while. But communism always ends in death. It always ends in destruction.

Socialism is great until they run out of other peoples money, then they start shooting that enemies. Then they shoo their friends. Dont be either

Bro, we just have to make the whole world communist and then it'll work. It's basic mathology, bruh.

You’re absolutely right… I can’t believe I was so blind

Welcome to the warm embrace of collectivism, Comrade.

It just math

Long overdue for the producers to go on strike. And yet we aren’t even close.

If individuals are unwilling, as just the most obvious example, to leave Twitter and move to Nostr for fear of forgoing their audience and engagement, well, that tells you all you need to know of the current state of affairs.

The most retarded take on nostr.

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production and has nothing to do with welfare.

But a liberal retard can't understand the difference.

Capitalism relies on the exploitation of working people.

And war mongering cowards like Walker will call everything they see as a threat to the bankers as socialism.

Like how he justified the attacks against Venezuela, Venezuela being nationalists who used bitcoin to get past USA sanctions.

Venezuela was a threat to fiat money.

And you can't make a profit trading Bitcoin for fiat if the fiat becomes worthless, that's why fake bitcoiners like Walker will always defend the banking cartels against Bitcoin.

Socialism is retarded. We should try capitalism for once.

Do you know what socialism is? Have you lived at least a week in socialism (not on vacation)?

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production.

Workers being the people who work as opposed to an owning class that doesn't work.

And means of production being the farms, factories etc.

Just because Venezuela had nationalised resources and free healthcare doesn't make them socialist.

They were nationalists.

Libertarians, nationalists, socialists, all provide free healthcare and nationalise their resources.

Even some capitalist countries have nationalised resources and most have social welfare programs and subsidized healthcare.

None of that stuff is exclusive to socialism.

Socialism is just about removing the parasites who make their wealth by exploiting working people instead of working for their money like everyone else.

You could say that Venezuela was trying to build socialism. They did have a lot of socialist inspired policies, their revolution was originally based on Marxism or something similar I think but even under Chavez they were leaning more towards nationalism.

Truth be told it's hard for a socialist country to defend themselves.

Cuba and Vietnam have been the exceptions.

China isn't even socialist anymore, they have a "reestablish socialism by 2050" plan in place now that they've been working towards for years after their economy was liberalised in the late 80s through the 90s.

Where are you from Kayne?

What capitalism? No hard money no capitalism. All these guys are doing is moving us away from corporate socialism to socialism as traditionally thought about.

It’s not a great idea but it’s better than corporate welfare for the cantillionaires.

Way out of my lane here, but China seems to contradict your thesis - the average Wei’s circumstances certainly improved from 1980 or so to present no?

Because they opened up special economic zones and allowed pseudo-privately owned businesses. Essentially they allowed capitalism in and it changed everything for them.

Thanks for clearing it up!

Def not communist.😏😉😏😉

I witnessed an interesting form of capitalism - the unfolding of the “Chinese Dream” in the 12 years I lived there. The atmosphere in China of optimism, betterment, progression etc reminded me of what I felt when I first arrived in California from overseas in the 60s. People there were realizing the “American Dream” How ironic.😏

Capitalism doesn't exist. Capitalism needs sound money and the system is a socialist system with no sound money.

Bitcoin is driving the world into a true capitalist system. Something the majority of people can't understand or imagine how it works, but I understand.

What we have now in the western wifi is not true free market capitalism.

💯 % true

BUT sadly:

Netto-tax-recipients don’t care

Government employees don’t care

Envious people don’t care

Lovers of lies don’t care

Thieves don’t care

Poor people wanting free stuff don’t care

The socialists know that. They tirelessly work to get 51% of the voters in one of the above categories. Then they take over, get filthy rich, destroy everything, put enemies to death or in jail (and torture them). Again and again. If you live in a place where more than 51% votes socialist sell everything immobile and get out. Most of the people who voted socialist prefer to go under before they acknowledge that they were wrong.

Having family who've lived in Bolivia, watching Evo Morales and the socialistas ruin their country for decades, we make no bones nor apologies about despising socialism and socialistas!

What a terrible system, but the dumbing down of Americans mainly in the schools and colleges, has raised a spoiled and ignorant generation of 20-somethings that advocate for making us all equally poor, productive or not.

Definitely! Never stop despising socialism and socialists.

Bolivia was bad, thank God they are now on a better path.

American teachers are often socialist propagandists, many openly.

We are hopeful, but so many socialists left in the judiciary and legislature make it very hard for the new president to make changes quickly. One good thing is, they have made it so Americans no longer need a visa, easier to visit! 😊 fingers crossed, hope they can get tips from Presidente Bukele and befriend him...

why does capitalism produce beggars n homeless ?

The current financial and political system is "state capitalism":

1) state (fiat) currency // inflation;

2) taxes;

3) regulations;

4) the inability of some individuals to resist the state;

Because it’s not capitalism, it’s crony capitalism.

there goat theory - capitalism facism socialisn communisn

america if failure state becos its not real capitalism - rest dumb 300million thinks in dream so

Because the people we elect and pay to take care of the beggars and homeless are crooks.

Socialism takes. The free market makes. Socialism always collapses because there’s only so much you can take before there’s nothing left.

🤌 End the Fed!

Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.” - The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx, 1848 ✊ 🚩🚩🚩🚩

Capitalism has gone too far in the US and turned into pure greed in many instances.

Si luchas por tu felicidad porque los demás no te escuchan, conviértete en la señal, no en el ruido. Decirle a la gente qué hacer es ruido y entropía; mostrar resultados innegables es señal +.

La gente sintoniza la señal y a medida que tu luz se fortalezca, atraerás naturalmente a quienes vibran contigo. La ejecución requiere prudencia, coraje y templanza. La virtud, ahora es la brújula que nos guía hacia un futuro de independencia, creatividad y dignidad

Socialism nor capitalism has ever existed on earth.
