AOC Gives Her Definition of Capitalism

[Devils_Advocate]

Capitalism doesn’t give a damn if people starve.

Neither does Socialism and Communism when it ran the way it is always ran!

There are many reasons.

They are all the result of the leftwing agenda.

 

[bripat9643]

Capitalism doesn’t give a damn if people starve.

That may be, but capitalism ends starvation wherever it's practiced.

 

[bripat9643]

Many reasons. Russia went from communist to capitalist. Did it get better?

Yes, it's a lot better, but Russia is crony capitalist, not true capitalist.

 

[Devils_Advocate]

The DSA member’s like AOC talk like they care about the poor people but what they truly care about is obtaining the power to tell people what they are worth and play God with people lives.

Take away the Corporation’s and replace it with the Government running everything and you will still have the elite’s and the poor but no middle class and the poor class will be many while the Elite class will be the selected few.

No one is ever equal in any system no matter Capitalism to Marxism and if anyone believe you can achieve equality then you are naive seeing greed, envy and sloth will always ruin your goal!

Careful, your stupidity is showing. In socialist countries they care, they want everyone to starve.

You think this is an argument about capitalism vs socialism as if that’s the only two options.

The stupidity is living in such a binary childish world.

What's the other option, nimrod?

There are many reasons.

Correct. Taxes play into it, so do burdensome and expensive government regulations.

Not dumping waste into the rivers can be expensive. Oh well.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

If your business thought it could make more money by violating the law, it would. You didn’t because violating the law is costly, at least if you’re caught.

Why is wage theft so prevalent?

What in hell is wage theft?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Not dumping waste into the rivers can be expensive. Oh well.

If that is the situation the government will clean it up, and make that money back in fines and penalties.

I kinda figured it was something like that. So wage theft are people that believe they should be paid more for their work. So how is it theft when employees accept a job that pays less than what they expected? That's like saying if you buy a car for more than you wanted to pay, it's actually car theft.

I wish you would have read the wiki article.

Wage theft is when employers do not pay the worker what they are owed.

What a nasty twit she is.

You know what though, she's a pretty good dancer, her legs are unremarkable, but she has really nice tits. You know she does, just as you know that Democrats stole an election.

Let's Go Brandon!

Cortez is not attractive. She looks like a squirrel. Of course hate never makes one seem attractive.

-isms don't care about people. People care about people. Irrespective of the legal games we play.

I did read the article and that's basically what it said. If somebody is owed money than that can be litigated in court.

Read it again but this time with an open mind and less bias

It can be litigated in court. Litigation costs money and time, takes knowledge and often gets people fired. Which if the theft is small enough then the employee may not bother with the cost.

It’s a problem.

Surely you can understand the mistake. It sounds a lot like leftist sloganeering (e.g. "wage slavery").
