Gregory's ServerWe do not agree. Don't tell me I agree with you when we're here having a debate over our disagreement over politics. From my analysis of your beliefs, you don't call it "capitalism" because you have little to no understanding of capitalism, and the same goes for socialism as well. 1/2

 No one seems to agree on what is "capitalism"! Lol. (I have my own definition, which is not really useful when it comes to communication. So I don't use it...) But if you want to get a point across, talking about a system that allow super rich people buying entire government and let normal folks in the shit, *everyone* will get that! And the problem with socialism is similar. No one knows what it means! ... Plenty of people agree on what capitalism is, and if they don't know what it is, it's very, very simple to explain: it's the private ownership of the means of production. If they don't know what means of production are, again, it's very, very easy to explain: resources and tools used to make goods and services. If they don't know what socialism is, again, very, very easy to explain: the collective ownership of the means of production. 1/2 There, I just explained both capitalism and socialism in three short sentences, which were leagues more descriptive than your description of capitalism, "a system that allow super rich people buying entire government and let normal folks in the shit," and your description of socialism which was equally as inane. 2/2 |

Someone earlier recommended you read "Reform or Revolution" by Rosa Luxemburg, and I also recommend you read the book to understand the flaws of reformism and develop a better understanding of capitalism and socialism.
