Greta Thunberg says her goal is overthrow capitalism, says it's responsible for "imperialism, oppression, genocide.. racist, oppressive extractionism"

[Synthaholic]

for many people it worked out just fine....

If it wasn't so easily gamed by those it has worked out more than "fine" for, it would work for everybody. The fact that there are people with $100 billion is evidence of its failure.

 

[Synthaholic]

YOU are alive thanks to capitalism

How do you figure?

 

[westwall]

How do you figure?

The population of humans only begins to increase with the advent of capitalism. Stupid people would never make it past their teen years without the benefits of capitalism.

Your woke dummies would starve to death if capitalism wasn't there to support them.

China's population has only increased under their system. To the point that they had to mandate a One Child policy.

Which is now going to destroy China as an entity.

I was addressing a specific claim you made. This is just deflection.

No, it is an example. The only reason why China was able to grow its population so high was thanks to capitalism inventing new irrigation, water movement, grain packaging, transportation, fertilizers etc. Etc. Etc.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I'm not about to listen to that twit

 

[AZrailwhale]

Hard to argue that Capitalism hasn't been a failure.

Capitalism has provided more prosperity, better health and more equality than any other system in history. I don’t call that failure

Not to mention medical care which allowed China’s population to skyrocket due to longer lives.

There you go. It ain't about global warming, it's about capitalism.

Always has been.

get woke dude, china is the most capitalist nation that ever existed on earth...hell, they have bought up half of the USA already....

 

[gipper]

No shit. Stop blaming capitalism for the fascism we are living under.

Stop ignoring the harm caused by capitalism.

 

[gipper]

It’s also bought terrible inequality, poverty, and centralized political power into hands of a few wealthy oligarchs.

 

[westwall]

Stop ignoring the harm caused by capitalism.

What harm.

Be specific.

 

[westwall]

No, it didn't. That has been the norm for ALL of human existence. Before capitalism there were the ruling elite, and the peons.

Capitalism is directly responsible for the creation of the middle class.

There certainly never was any equality in the mecca of socialism, aka the soviet union

Apparently you’re unaware of the squalor that exists in many of our biggest cities. I believe there is a guy on YouTube who can show you videos.

 

[Mac-7]

No, for libs there is also the lost civilization of Atlantis where everything was perfect

But here in the real world socialism is not so great
