Does Dore own means of production? Because that's what capitalism is about. Not about making money. About controlling what other people need to survive. And not, it got shit to do with your individual stuff.

Seems you simply got no clue what capitalism means.

@MC-wh3xm Nazis were ultra capitalists and socialist were the very first peopel they slaughtered. Soviet Russia was state capitalism, they even said this themselves and after the brutal, lift threatening aggression from outside, they never had the chance to go any further from that. Today they slowly might be strong enough to go in that direction, but that's their decision. China wants to reach socialism around 2050. So they themselves also say that they haven't even reache socialism, by that even less communism.

@MC-wh3xm Socialism is prett claerly defined. The means of productions int he hands of the society, the people. Name a country where this is the case and when you are at it, show how that was the core of any problem. Capitalism means, that the means of production are in the han of very few people, name them however you want, the problem is the number, not the label. That's what we very clearly got today - and overall in all human history, the same kind of despotism with very few ruling over the many. The details and labels changed, but it's still the same system and always led to collaps.

@dukewellington7050 Which IS capitalistic.

Corporatism IS capitalistic. (as is fascism)

Sociallism would be about, that the hall in which he plays would be public property and everyone would be able to freely use it instead of an owner making money out of it for just owning it. It got nothing to do with not getting payment for your work.

Gurtius Maximus What is the same shit. Corporatism is simply just a subcategory of capitalism.

@firstandforemost87 Indeed, capitalists love that free market nonsense, but you always got a market when people trade with each other, that's nothing special. Socialism also got a market. Socialism also got supply and demand. What capitalists mean with free market is, a market in which they can freely dominate everything with their wealth and power without hinderance. And what capitalists mean with supply and demand is, that both gonna serve them, that they control the supply and abuse the demand go get very rich. Socialism also got supply and demand, but since socialism is about that the economy has to serve the society, the focus in it would have to be to satisfy the demand by creating a big enough supply or at least by equally spreading the supplys, every demand is at least partly satisfied. Capitalism wouldn't do that. That's where the whole "low supply, high demand = high prices", because capitalism just abuses that situation. If you got 10 people and 20l water, you got enough water for everyone. If you suddenly only got 10l water, socialism would give every of these 10 people just 1l, what wouldn't be good, but good enough for people to survive. Capitalism would tell the 10 people, that only those who can pay a high price will get their 2l of water - and the five left, well, bad luck. (a bit simplified of course). Even worse, as capitalism is, it would take even those 20l water, the first, richest guy would have total controll over that and take 10l for himself, then sell the other 10 to the reaming 9 people and 5 of them will only get half a liter - even WHILE there would be enough water for all.

Capitalism means, that the means of productions, so machines and so on are in the hand of oligarchs. It has NOTHING do do with money or market or anything alike. Socialism means, that that means of production are in the hands of the society = all people. Again has nothing to dow ith money or market or anything alike. It's just that.

@robertstone9988 As does slavery. For the slavemasters. And despotism. For the despot. And murder. For the murderer.

@IDIOCRACY-1984 Capitalism is about that you own the whole media system in which such a comedian works. And while the comedian delivers, you just get rich by owning the house and so one he and his audience uses, while doing nothing.
2
So despotism with a hint of democracy, eh?

Unequal sharing of blessing = you are lucky to have enough for everyone, but since you are a fascistic asshole, you just got some very rich people who rob the poor. Equal sharing of misery = you are unlucky to not have enough for everyone, and you still make sure that everyone gets their share. Yeah, capitalism still fucking bad.

@beekeeper8474 You don't even have a single month of failure kid. Name ONE country in all history and on this planet, in which the economy was in the hand of the people = socialism. Or name ONE country, which has reached this and after that abolishd all power hierarchy, living together in peace as equals = communism. Name one that even tried to do that in any way. You can't. Even giants like China just PLAN to reach socialism in some decades.

@vlt873 Again: what has this to do with communism or socialism? Nothing. They are both not about people who got more money than others. It's about people who control what other people need. Even if Bill would have billions and a whole palace to live in plus an own yacht, nothing of this would be something other people need, giving him control over them.

@Broformist May be, question is, if he would have much of a problem with it.

There is not country on this planet and in history that even had socialism. Name one country in which the means of prodcutions are in the hand of the people? And if would be even able to name that, that wouldn't be enough, the next and most important step would be to show, how this killed a single person. Oh, some countries got some people who talked about socialism? Communism? North Korea? Eastern germany? Funny enough, thos countries called themselves "democratic republics" - still no one ever goes around and yells: "LOOK! THAT SHOWS HOW DEMOCRACY DOESN'T WORK, BUT IS EVIL!"

@kennethstowell7650 The whole point of socialism is, that the power is in the hand of the whole society. That's what it is called SOCIAlism. From "societas".

Capitalism is pretty much just plutocracy. And yes, the USA and the whole free west is VERY plutocratic and by that VERY anti democratic.
1
@jaykline8550 Well, the whole point of capitalism is to accumulate all wealth (and by that power) in the hand of very few people and of course such a system IS totalitarian and MUST fail.

Amazon is pretty much the most harmless megacon we got. You can easily ignore it, what shows just that. The ugly megacons are those you can't avoid. The reason our media loves to attack Amazon is just that reason. Amazon is super unimportant for the system.

China says it wants to reach socialism around 2050. We will see if they follow that, but it's pretty clear, that they don't see themselves as a state that reached socialism - and by that even less communism, which could evolve from socialism.
1
Corporatism IS capitalistic. And both got nothing to do with a free market. Capitalists love to talk about free market, just like fascists love to talk about democracy and freedom - while mass murdering all over the globe.

@oliversmith2129 The economical system shuffles TRILLIONS around. You can do SHIT as a millionair. The system is wrong.

@blogintonblakley2708 State capitalism is a stepping stone toward socialism. Socialism is nothign you just implement. You have to build up the economy and all and the society itself must slowly glide into it, especially after thousands of years of brutal (and quasi-capitalistic) despotism. China wants to reach socialism somewhere around 2050.

@noirekuroraigami2270 Socialism is the opposit of capitalism, both are economical systems. Capitalism is economical despotism and socialism is economical democracy. Communism is more an evolution of society from the stage of socialism, an Utopia, when peopel get, that living together in peace as equals (you know, like a community...) is much smarter than fighting each other all the time.
