Capitalist or socialist, it’s the same. Both follow empty ideas and destroy whatever doesn’t fit their goals.

No, that's not true.
We don't have any capitalist left, they are all socialists - directed by central control.
Capitalist work in a world where competition between individuals and companies drives the best solution. NO ONE alive today has experienced Capitalism, but a form of centrally controlled private industry (through regulation, bribes, and Global Reserve Currency dominance).
The reason these countries were destroyed was absolutely intentional by the Communist/Socialist was for the pillaging of resources!
Great book, "Hidden Repression" by Alex Gladstein. Read it. Disect it. Dig deep.
If you don't believe me, look at the circle chart below showing how nearly all commerce is owned by a few large companies - all bought and paid for through political contributions (favorable regulations and being close to the money printer).
My grandfather worked at Sears when it was Amazon - Sears created companies like AllState, Discover, that were ALL spun OFF to be independent businesses! This is how it use to work! NOW, the big companies get bigger - why is that? Answer that question and you KNOW you are not in a capitalistic world in 2025.
Yea pretty much this. I would say the Black/Gray Market is the last bastion of capitalism. By Black/Gray Market I don't just mean illegal activities, I also mean mundane things like garage sales or flea markets, or bake sales. Things that are not necessarily reported or are breaking any law by accident. I think even a lemonade stand is considered black market 😂 😓
Exactly. The so called “Black Market” is the true free market, individuals trading freely, outside the spooks of law and control. A lemonade stand, a flea market, these are acts of people, living for themselves, not for the systems of others.
Capitalism, socialism, communism, they’re all the same. Just new names for the same spook, control. Call it regulation, bribery, or central planning, it’s always someone trying to rule over others. The real question isn’t what system we’re in, but why people still believe in their ideas instead of living for yourself.
Not sure that's true historically - but it IS TRUE now!
Capitalism use to enforce antitrust rules/laws. When a company gets too big or a group of companies gets too big Government would break them up. This is a good thing. It just does not happen anymore.
BUT - and it's a big but, if you have real capitalism the big players end up being displaced by new businesses. AND, big companies start new divisions and then spin them off - because 'real' business owners know new divisions are more adaptive in the market place.
Today, before a new innovative business can get profitable, the big players sweep in with that Cheap, close to the Fed money, and buy up al the new players. Exactly the OPPOSITE that happens in a Capitalistic system.
