Never claimed to be an expert but I understand the fundamental differences between Socialism and Capitalism.

Thus far I've asked a few times for one of you "geniuses" to enlighten me, and so far I've gotten nothing but hot air in return.

So go ahead and tell me why Socialism > Capitalism, Bernie.
What is capitalism, TDK?

Why is Socialism > Capitalism, Bush?

I'm not the one who made a thread mocking idiots for not knowing what socialism is.

So I'm asking you..."what is capitalism?"

Pretend the roles are reversed, you are in the video, and someone from "Cuckold University" is sticking a mic in your face.

What do you respond with?

You're the one who said I should let others explain... and thus far you / others haven't said squat.

In it simplest form Capitalism means an economy owned/run by the people for profit, Socialism means owned/run by the state/government.

Now your turn: Tell me why you believe Socialism > Capitalism.

Thank you for going to Wikipedia and doing a copy-paste.

So you admit that a drug-addled woman turning tricks for money and then making a voluntary exchange of that money for drugs is consistent with a capitalist economy, correct?

And FTR I wasn't mocking the fact that they don't know what Socialism means... I was mocking the 70% of these kids who would VOTE for a Socialist without knowing what it means.

:lol: typical response.

I answered your question... now it's your turn: Tell me why you believe Socialism > Capitalism. No more deflecting like a little weasel either, bush-league.

I'm pretty sure my response was not a typical response.

I don't believe socialism > capitalism. I literally believe the exact opposite.

That's why I'm sort of resisting the idea of you being the champion of "Team Capitalism"' here, especially since you seem to have a number of emotional and mental deficiencies.

Good... then we agree. Now focus your attention on "educating" those ITT who disagree with our views, bush-league.

We are long past the point of education as a remedy for the nation's problems, TDK.

The day will not be won by alcoholics parroting Prager U and screaming about socialism being for lazy people and capitalism being for Alphas, and some such.

Bush-league acts like he's got all the answers, but when he's called-out (by someone on his side) to enlighten those whose opinions differ from his, he backpedals and attacks the one who calls him out.

:lol:

You sound like a typical Lefty Liberal Loser, bush-league.

I literally did that for the better part of a decade, ya dummy.

And unlike you, I never did it out of mental illness and a need to pump my ego up or feel better about my personal life.

But it's over. It doesn't work. And it won't work in the current political and social climates with the current demographic construction and institutions in the United States. It's the time of the sword. Not the time of "random obscure think tank white papers explaining why 2+2 =4 and how 2+2=5 is an incorrect proposition".

At this point, an academic point-by-point refutation of some stupid progressive position is only done by the autistic and people who are simply trying to fill an emotional need in their personal lives and establish themselves as a superior/dominant force.

You're getting shook up, bush-league.... so go ahead and "swing that sword" AT THE ENEMY, not those who support your political / social views.

The prime issue is those that feel things must be one, or the other, only.
The reality is that we are a capitalist society with many socialist institutions.

To be fair, (socialist) the Soviet Union and Maoist China were generally devoid of evil and essentially devoid of capitalism on a meaningful scale, so there could be something to that theory.

In reality, the activities within a capitalist market are not synonymous with moral and virtuous behavior. Like in the example I used earlier, a crack hoe selling her body for money is completely consistent with capitalism (assuming no fraud takes place). So is making a voluntary donation to some sort of social justice cause. So is banking your money. So is buying a double-sided dildo and using it with your homosexual partner (assuming adults and consent blah blah blah) while you smoke dank weed you bought from the corner.

Capitalism is simply voluntary exchange. A fully capitalist market is a market where 100 percent of economic exchanges are voluntary.

Obviously, all economies are mixed to a non-zero extent. It simply is a matter of degree.
