A twist: Libs, show us a place on Earth where capitalism failed??

[theDoctorisIn]

Here's a better question for you Trump clowns:

When or where has populism ever worked to make things better?

I'd submit that Trump is not a genuine populist, if for no other reason than that Trump isn't a genuine anything, when it comes to principles.

"Populism" isn't a principle.

His rhetoric is populist, and that of his followers.

Principle

"a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning."

Are you sure?

Yep.

Populism isn't an ideology. Claiming that the world is separated into the good people and the corrupt and evil elitists isn't a "priniciple", it's a rhetorical tactic.

Where do we have socialism in the US? Point it out.

First, you must learn what socialism is - and its various degrees and forms. Then, look around you. Look at postal service, military, roads, fire departments, garbage collection, government, etc...

Populism is widely referred to as an ideology. I guess they're all wrong?

This is probably the funniest damn thing lakota squaw has ever uttered. Her ancestors would have abandoned her and left her by the creek.

Five factors are responsible for the failure of global corporate capitalism. First, global corporations are too big. We're living in the age of corporate dinosaurs. (The largest multinational is JP Morgan Chase with assets of $2 Trillion, 240,000 employees, and offices in 100 countries.) The original dinosaurs perished because their huge bodies possessed tiny brains. Modern dinosaurs are failing because their massive bureaucracies possess miniscule hearts.

5 Reasons Capitalism Has Failed

Well, that sums it up nicely.

Do you mind if I use Politifart to show you how much money that "dinosaur" is giving Hillary???
None

*yawn*

Seems like the best economic system these days is a mixture of socialism and capitalism.

Exactly.

73. Government - Like it or not, our country would not be a country without a government. Every single day, government on state and local levels serve us in ways we simply take for granted. Government as an entity operates and functions on our tax dollars through a socialist structured funding system. From the military down to the county dog catcher, socialism turns the wheels that make our society function.

75. Civilization - As an American citizen, you enjoy freedoms that many in other countries do not. Like anything else in this world, our government is not perfect, but you should be thankful everyday that your country has a government that feels an obligation to serve the people and protect their rights and freedoms. This is completely possible because of government, taxes, and socialism. Do you think the private sector would do a better job of governing our country? Do you think corporations would enact laws to help protect and serve you and your family or them and their profits? The reason you can read this blog and the reason I can write it whether you agree with it or not is because of the freedoms we have here in America enforced and protected through socialist means. Our entire civilization depends on us being a people united. Socialism is a glue that binds us together and makes possible the things that we could not accomplish as individuals working against each other.

The great depression, 2008 to name a couple events where government had to step in.

Idiot.
Those werent failires of capitalism but the opposite. Hoover's response to the Depression was socialist as Hoover was a Progressive. Roosevelt doubled down on Hoover's failure and prolonged it until WW2
The Great Recession came from gov't keeping interest rates too low and sparking a run into mortgages, which ultimately failed.

Wrong.
The best system is capitalism. It has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system anywhere.
Socialism delivers failure 100% and brings nothing but misery, poverty and death.

Show us a country where PURE and TOTAL capitalism has succeeded - without being supported by democratic socialism.

Do you think the U.S. is PURE and TOTAL capitalism?

American capitalism has failed us: We’re overworked, underemployed and more powerless than ever before

Denmark, Norway and Sweden are all thriving under democratic socialism. Why is it so difficult for us to embrace?

Let's have more democratic socialism.

Thriving? They are struggling just like everyone else with typical problems,budgets immigration

 

[rdean]

You know...we spend a lot of time pointing out the catastrophic failures of leftist ideology across the globe. Horrible failures of socialist ideals....like Venezuela. Cuba. USSR. North Korea. Many many more. They respond by naming the Scandinavian nations of Europe (who are mostly all white, strict borders, strict immigration, and have almost no military due to the USA offering protection).

But...how about a twist? Instead of showing libs where socialism has failed miserably (almost everywhere it's been tried)....how about liberals show us places where capitalism has failed!!???

The more capitalist a nation becomes....the stronger and wealthier they become. Fact.

The United States. South Korea. Japan.

Why is it that socialism almost always fails....yet...capitalism almost always works?

I don't know what it is with these right wingers. Always coming up with simplistic scenarios and then insisting they are winning an imaginary and simplistic fight. It's as if they are simpletons.

For one, capitalism is based on supply and demand which Republicans believe is a wild liberal theory. They constantly push for tax cuts and tax breaks for the rich because the rich will create jobs. Hardly a sign of capitalism.

Then you have Republicans removing regulations and subsidizing big business so the income gap between the super rich and everyone else becomes a chasm. Hardly a sign of capitalism.

With their disastrous and ruinous economic policies, one wonders if they even know what capitalism is. And we know their policies are disastrous because when ever one becomes president the economy takes a nose dive.

Why are you such a hateful person,you and your kind,will spew out a hate lie like breathing air.

Who taught your kind to be such miserable people,that respect no one that is different then them.

This BS that the left is tolerant and inclusive is one of the biggest scams ever.

American capitalism isn't supported by socialism. Socialism feeds on American capitalism.
