Butthurt socialists always try to say Capitalism is bad, but they are blind. Do you see North Korea with skyscrapers? Did you see GDR with people who actually enjoyed being there? Exactly.
Capitalism causes progress in nations. Why do you think Dubai is filled with tall skyscrapers and giant swimming pools in the middle of the desert? They were smart with their oil. They didn't say "Oh, well everyone deserves this, and by everyone, we mean the government". They said "There's an international economy that is built from oil, and we have a lot of that. Sell it."

Edited by Florence: 4/28/2013 11:28:13 PMCalling capitalism a form of government is like calling not collecting stamps a hobby or bald a hair color or atheism a religion. But I like your sentiment, anyway. The arguments could use a tad bit of improvement. I don't think anyone is really butthurt about politics, everyone really just wants the same end (to raise the standard of living and whatnot).

Capitalism requires 2 things: Cheap low-pay workers (this needs to be as low as possible). Workers to spend money and buy products (this needs to be as high as possible). See the problem?

Capitalism is a form of economy.......

Capitalism is not a form of government...

You do realize taht a 100% capitalist society would crumble jsut as bad as a 100% socialist. The key is to find the balance in between the two.

Agreed. -blam!- communism.

>Capitalism >Government lol

The best way to have your arguments be taken seriously, I find, is to begin by calling anyone who disagrees with your opinion "butthurt." Also, capitalism is an economic system, not a form of government.

Capitalism is fine, as long as it stays the hell out of healthcare.

Capitalism and a free market is great.
