The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities int

In the pre-capitalistic era the average life expectancy was 35. Now, in the countries that adopted capitalism, the average life expectancy is more than double that. Recently here in the U.S. there has been an increase in income inequality but that hasn't been due to more capitalism and less government intervention. Free market capitalism has been replaced with a corrupt crony capitalist system where those with the right political connections get rich rather than those who provide goods or services to consumers.

The essence of failure is stated quite plainly by the OP - lazy, stupid, weak, whiny, and dependent. Winners win and losers become progressives.

^^ The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force.

That reminds me. I need to add a couple more sharks to the moat. Some tree hugger almost made it across last week.

Capitalism is a criminal system . It's economic terrorism against the working class

Capitalism feeds. Socialism starves.

It's not doing a good job of feeding the US

It has lifted billions out of food insecurity worldwide, including in America. Rates are similar between America and socialist paradises Canada and the UK.

Capitalism has reduced worldwide extreme poverty from 90% in 1820 to 10% today.

GDP in the world's most capitalist countries is 10x that in the least.

But facts aren't your thing. You're just here to rant and make a damn fool of yourself. I'm sure you're a not for profit pimp, right? Lulz

Yeah it's not like fat people in poor neighborhoods aren't in the vast majority.

People in the US are going into debt coz of high food prices. Those relying on food donations are suffering. Cutbacks on welfare.

And yhe worst robs ever are landlords

Capitalism is a so called economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

In a so called gcapitalist market economy, decision-making and investments are determined by owners of wealth, property, or ability to maneuver capital or production ability in capital and financial markets

Capitalism has been dominant in the Western world and is a form of “modern feudalism”, combined with slavery, it’s originators.

Capitalism is for winners, so expect the losers to whine. With socialism everyone is a loser, so whining isn't noticeable any longer.

^ Slavery is several thousand years old. Capitalism is a couple hundred.

Quit your bullshit.

THE UNDENIABLE REALITY:

As it spanned the globe, capitalism drove indigenous peoples from their lands, put slaves to work on plantations in the Americas, and reduced eastern European peasants to a second serfdom.

Left wing countries enslave people today, not yesteryear. Left wing countries that survive do so because some chump Capitalist country pays for their defense and the simple fact is that the only system that ever has and ever will work for most of the populace is Capitalism - UNDENIABLE REALITY. Kind of funny that the two biggest bitches on the subject Icey and CJ don't work or contribute and that says it all. Steak out tonight, so tired of grilling.

The US empire just followed in the footsteps of Britain and other European imperial forebears; such as colonial annexation, temporary military occupation, or overt military intervention

Africans Arabs and Asians still keep slaves, especially in the socialists/communist countries. God bless America and send hellfire to the rats called progressives.

“The idea that the United States is uniquely virtuous may be comforting to Americans.”

“Too bad it's not true.”

“Americans blind themselves to the ways that they are just like everyone else.”

“It is also called Superiority Complex; a burning desire to minimize or undermine other human beings to make themelves feel better…”

The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. And it turns all of us into capital.

Life expectancies are higher now because of industrial technology, and that is not the same thing as capitalism.
