@xa1313 Capitalism is when individuals are free to mind their own business.

@MegaBanne "You obviously think Capitalism = Liberalism." Capitalism by it's principle is liberal ideal. "Capitalism is a society governed completely or partly based on ownership of capital." Nope, you clearly have no idea what capitalism is. It's simply individual's liberty to own property and capital and trade it with others. " Yeah, there is no inch of communism in Hina" Actually there is. They literally forced people to live in communes after mao's revolution. After which they realized that it was total disaster. Communism didn't work as they had hoped it would. Then they adopted new type of far left idea which was socialists market economy. "He viewed post scarcity as mandatory." IE in order for his system to work we can't live in reality. "If you want to find some better examples of socialism then look up the Barcelona communes. They lasted till Franco came with nazi support." LAsting is not same as flourishing. Plus this proves that communism is inherently flawed if it can't stand with pressure from internal and foreign agencies. System is only working system when it doesn't need to rely on perfect conditions. "Cuba was shown that the hard way thanks to USA" Ummm nope. There was no blockade on Cuba and funnily enough... You're now making argument that Cuba is so terrible that it can't survive without trading with BIG BAD USA. Well maybe you shouldn't be declaring war and planning to nuke whole country that you wish to trade with? "You do know that 20 million people die each years thanks to capitalism?" They don't. You can't contribute every death that happens in country X to capitalism. These numbers aren't proven and usually when someone talks about their context it's just loads of BS. Socialists and communists kills in name of their ideology and then suffers from massive periods of starvation. While you're trying to contribute people's own mistakes as deaths of capitalism. "Yeah, these are people who we could easily help, but who we chose not to" That is not same as killing someone. Also not true either. There are things like problems of logistics. "Since you can't exploit poor people in any other way than to make them work to death for you." I take it that you don't even live in the west if you view it this way. "Socialism has never been about forming a utopia." Literally has always been about it. Always claiming that all problems of the world will disappear since humans can't just be born as evil. "From each according to his ability to each according to his need" Extremely naive idea. You don't know what is someones real need or even ability.

@LordZontar What does country that runs as socialist market economy has to do with this?

Let's address some of the flaws in the video. Thomas Jefferson's own critique over "making peopled stupid". Scientifically speaking this is not the case. Menial tasks or workplaces does not lower people's IQ and neither does higher tasks increase them. Not only that but someone has to do those tasks in the first place, even in socialist or communist societies. In fact specialization is must have as proven in practice in Mao's china. Division of labor exists for good reason, not everyone can do everything. Also no... Even under capitalist system workers can own the business. This is not good definition of capitalism. It's simply market freedom. Also colonialism and women's subjugation part... well going to give you harsh truth.. That literally happened under every system. It's not tied to capitalism. Social science don't deal with reality they are just all bunch of gibberish claims based purely on ideological fanaticism. Only one applied with economics could be history and the history proves that capitalism is far superior in comparison to other systems. For German law it's clear that you never read it. It doesn't give workers majority of power nor does it apply to small companies. It applies to certain companies only.

Pretty much, not even Karl Marx understood it.

@LordZontar It's not, google it up. China is Socialist market economy. Bloody educate yourself. Why is it that left wingers are all so ignorant over everything?

@LordZontar Dude, there is literally wikipedia page about it and China's state calling itself as Socialist market economy. You don't even know what capitalism is as the video in here proves. Left wingers are literally criticizing something they don't understand.

@MegaBanne There is such thing as socialist market economy. Literally wikipedia page about it and Hina is using it. You don't even know what capitalism is. "Socialism is about the decentralizing of power." Why is it then that in literally every socialist revolution and after it the power was centralized? How many more people need to be killed for your utopia? All these countries killed and mass murdered people in name of far left ideas. How many more it would take to finally have "real socialism/communism"?

@MegaBanne Capitalism wasn't invented by british people. It existed long before that Island was even populated. "Capitalism is not liberal. Capitalism has no principles. Capitalism has no ideals. Capitalism is system of governance." This is contradiction but you lack intelligence to see it. You can't have system of governance without ideals and principles. You're the one who is trying to redefine word, literally all dictionaries world wide disagrees with you. "That is not communism" Expect it's. It's society where people live in communes. "You just throw out words you don't understand hoping they will stick." Nope, you're free to use google. These words exists outside of my existence and Hinese government openly states to own such system. "We live in post scarcity" nope, we still have plenty of scarce resources. Energy sources are very good example of it. "You throw most of the food we produce at cows." Food isn't only resource that matters. Other types of resources are needed in order to generate large sums of food in the first place. "People starving is just a feature of capitalism." Only people starving in capitalism are drunkards and drug addicts. Everyone else have their bellies filled more food than they can handle. "I am not a communist." Stop lying, I have seen you before. "The ones who did best was the fucking soviet union." Actually false. It was the british who defeated nazies. The strategy that Churchill employed ensured that germany would slowly die and be forced to do poor military decision such as invading Russia. I bet you didn't know about the oil blockade that british had done. Which force Germany to desperately seek for oil. "No fucking country can survive without trade." Objectively false, however CUBA could trade with rest of the world. Only country they couldn't trade was USA and that was imply because CUBA was openly hostile toward them. What do you expect? "Imagine banning all trade between US states and other states/countries." Literally never happened. Trade embargo only applied with US and that was only with certain products. Food and medicine is still being traded with Cuban's. "There has been embargos against Cuba ever since before Fidel Castro came to power." Also false, embargo happened when Cuba tried to get nukes to their Island. "To avoid total collapse of the cuban system Castro bought oil from the USSR." Also false, Cuba has their own oil source. "Those are deaths due to the absence of clean drinking water, starvation, easily preventable diseases, and so on." Literally never seen this happen in any capitalist nation. You should move into one before criticize. Also again, you're pushing someone's poor decision making onto someone's else fault. It's not my fault that someone takes drugs so much that he can't afford to buy medicine. All these cause you mentioned are natural things that humans die to anyway. No matter what the system is. Including socialists and communist. "With your logic we should ignore all the starvation under Mao." Depends, the cause of starvation was purely communist system which failed to produce enough food and resources to feed people. Even marx admits that capitalism is far superior when it comes to productivity. Under capitalism you only die if you're druggie or drunkard. All things that your own life choices have led into. "Their fucking mistake was to be born in to brutal poverty." Not a thing in western capitalism. "Are you this desperate to defend capitalism that you blame the kids dying from type one diabetes because insulin is to expensive?" You do realize that people get diabetes by being overweight, which is caused by eating too much? Aka lead cause of their death was themselves living unhealthy lifestyle. "The logistics you speak of is part of the cost." Do you understand how expensive it's to preserve and move huge loads of food, to other side of the planet on place where people breed like rabbits and are too lazy to farm their own food? And I'm not talking about in sense of money, but in resource wise. "I live in the west." No you don't. You're talking about some dystopic stuff that doesn't happen in here. "We use debt diplomacy to force poor nations in to unfair trade deals." Not really, not at all in fact. Also we can just stop trading with them if they don't want to. In fact any different trade deal would mean that no one would buy their products anyway. You see cost of production is cheaper in your own country if the cost of production is the same in foreign country. I bet your IQ isn't large enough to understand this concept... But moving goods costs lot of resources. Thus other countries have to undercut their prices in order for anyone to buy their products in the first place. Without it, the local goods would have the advantage. "More wealth leaves Africa than enters it." Literally doesn't. "Do you think the west just got rich because of magic?" They got rich because of market freedom enabled people to compete and produce more than other types of economies. "Capitalism does not create wealth." literally does. This is why only capitalist countries are wealthy. "It distributes wealth from the majority to the minority." That is not how wealth works. You're thinking that wealth is fixated number, this is not true. "They called their version scientific socialism." What a joke, whole left wing ideology is based on pseudoscientific thinking and illiteracy on history. "You are a conservative fool that fears change." Says guy who believes in 200-year old ideology which promotes most conservative thinking in history of this planet. "They are not suppose to be realistic." ACtually they are if you wish to implement them. If they aren't then you doom your population to suffering. "Either you agree with that as good or you value: "From each according to his ability to the rich minority according to their demand". " only two options in your little mind? Man you lack creativity.
