@abcjuniormilton Kuality Studios "I shot down your talking points"
Dude you didn't even address them. Once. You don't even seem to know who you're talking to. Let's keep this concise so that if you respond you can't go off on an unrelated tangent like you do everytime, alright?
1. Britain paying off slave owners with money from taxation isn't a good thing, it shows the moral bankruptcy of the nation to be willing to put literally centuries of labor into paying off slavery.
2. Even then, America had it worse by literally engaging in a bloody war to end slavery, which ended up further dividing the nation. Compared to the countries that did, it was roughly the tenth to abolish slavery. Still "one of" the first considering all nations, but it was one of the last developed nations to do so.
3. I literally never praised venezuela. Are you confusing me for another person? Socialism is defined as the workers having democratic control of the means of production, if they don't have that then it isn't socialism, that much is obvious. As I said before, venezuela's economy is 70% private, which is why i brought up Denmark. You are wrong on a few things, like the fact that they can only afford their welfare because we pay for the military (that's been debunked) but you are right in that they are capitalist. So why, if they have more businesses nationalized or under state jurisdiction, are they capitalist? Because Venezuela has less of a public economy and state control over industry. So why the hypocrisy. The collapse of the economy happened for a few reason, mostly US interventionism and basic economic principles that only apply under capitalist. You trying to deflect that blame onto socialism shows how little you actually know, or even care.
4. I say those driven out of cuba "hoarded wealth" because they literally were. You can decided independently whether it was justified or not, but that's why it happened. The fellow below you pointed it out well, some literally relied on modern day plantations, slavery, and monopolies. That's not great.
5. You say blaming the west for third world countries is just deflection when... no.

Look at the image in this article, or even read the article if you want. the US has been interfering in foreign economies and countries for literally decades now, and ignoring that fact because you want to put all the blame on socialism really says a lot about you.
6. Mate communism is western
7. The old "communist schools" myth was debunked literally decades ago, and it's sad to see your folk try to bring it up against instead of just recognizing that people really do have reasons to be angry at capitalism. What's more likely - schools literally are full of communists, and the government has never noticed or cared, or people self-educate and find reasons to be angry at capitalism.
8. Now you're just making shit up. Dude, if you want to pretend "the west hates itself" while shitting all over western ideas and american citizens, you're the problem. Seriously. You are the part of the west that hates itself.
So now you see how you not only didn't shoot anything down, but didn't even address most of my points. Try harder, come on.

@JNM578 Again, most of the components literally come from third world countries, or even china. Most computers aren't even manufactured in america, they're just shipped here, and then they wait on shelves for people to buy them. that's capitalism, alright, but not the kind I think you're a fan of. The problem with things being "mutual" under capitalism is that you don't really have a choice. Most jobs require skills with a computer, or owning some sort of internet enabled device, and most are put together in the same way. It doesn't matter if i don't buy from one company, because they're all doing it. And if the "private ownership of the means of production" leads to this, it isn't doing that well for itself.
