Capitalism is NOT Democratic: Democracy is NOT Capitalist

[dblack]

[Another stupid multimedia propaganda piece]

Your previous definition was sufficient.

Democratic socialism is the belief that both the economy and society should be run democratically (as opposed to authoritarianism)—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few.

I don't want government to "run" society. Nor the economy. What you're advocating is totalitarian government. One where every goddamned thing is subject to your precious majority rule.

"Former Vice President Joe Biden assured rich donors at a ritzy New York fundraiser that “nothing would fundamentally change” if he is elected.

"Biden told donors at an event at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday evening that he would not 'demonize' the rich and promised that 'no one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change,' Bloomberg News reported.

"Biden’s assurance to donors in New York came shortly after his appearance at the Poor People’s Campaign Presidential Forum in Washington on Monday."

Biden to rich donors: "Nothing will fundamentally change"

So? Trump never promised to "fundamentally change America" Only commies make such a promise.

Only private sector bakers?

I think you mean "bankers," no "bakers."

Yes, precisely, that's how things were in this country until 1914. From 1789 to 1914 we had less than zero inflation.

I agree to disagree. Bankers understand Capitalism.

Socialism is the goddamn collective taking away the Liberties of individuals.

It may be democratic but it is oppressive.

Democracy can be just as oppressive as any other form of totalitarian government.

Capitalism requires individuals to check their democratic rights at the workplace door; socialism extends democratic decision making to the institution where a majority of adults spend half of their waking hours.

Only if you a dumbass unproductive low life that don't have any marketable skills. Of course if you are one of those people then your whole life will be other people running your life.

Yes, it does!

socialism extends democratic decision making to the institution where a majority of adults spend half of their waking hours.

Leaving the decision making to someone else is the bargain one strikes when signing up to be an "employee". It's not required.

 

[georgephillip]

Yes. Socialism strips everyone of their rights equally.

Capitalism strips everyone of their human rights unequally

Is Capitalism Racist?

That's a prescription for failure. When has anything smart been decided by majority vote?

Who came up with black codes, right-wingers.

Conservatives in all political parties are often afraid to compete on level, heavily regulated playing fields where all participants are entitled to equal opportunity to participate. It's sad, but it appears to be part of their DNA?

Are our political views encoded by our DNA?

Upgrading infrastructure would have been better than a world war.

Some economic historians believe the US virtually ensured WWII when it required its WWI allies to repay their loans. Prior to that conflict, it was traditional for allies to forgive the loans that helped win their victory. When the UK and France had to repay Wall Street, the Germans paid the price.

"The reality since World War I is that the United States has taken the lead in shaping the international financial system to promote gains for its own bankers, farm exporters, its oil and gas sector, and buyers of foreign resources – and most of all, to collect on debts owed to it."
