Capitalism is what made us great. Everything you enjoy right now came to you via capitalism, the inventions, innovations, manufacturing, etc. Socialism is the religion for losers. Those that can't telling other people to provide.

Most people who are self described "capitalists" are really just christians they see socialism as a form of atheism a religion to compete with there's. Americans know everything about socialism except the definition, most of them couldn't tell you what the word soviet even means.

What's soviet have to do with anything? I think most people over the age of 21 know socialism is spreading wealth around. Which sounds cool when you're still nursing off the teat. Not so cool when you start working for a living.

All collectivist-oriented ideas about law and society have one common element: participation is not voluntary and is enforced by armed government agents. Capitalism is voluntary. If you don't like what I'm selling, you are free to choose differently.

I say if your idea requires jack booted thugs to enforce your will, you have a fundamentally bad idea.

Well...I never heard a public school teacher say "praise white Jesus", but perhaps your local school was different.

Setting that aside, are you suggesting communism was not bad? Did we not win the cold war?

Maybe it's me, but I can't tell what the hell you're saying.

Are you suggesting you know anything more about communism than that?

No you didn't.

Nope. It was capitalism. Sure, most Americans are Protestants, but look at other capitalist nations with a high per capita GDP and you'll find they are capitalist, not socialist. BTW, thanks for not denying you are bourgeoisie.


OTOH, even the US has a socialist safety net such as social security (forced savings), welfare (giving people other people's money), jobs programs (that's more of an investment IMO), Medicaid, etc. Capitalism is the money engine that allows country to have socialist programs. A pure socialist country quickly devolves into a poor nation growing beets to survive the winter.
