  1.  @thefutureisnowoldman7653  Lol, you're blaming the democrats as if people here care about that. Fun fact, it's both parties that are adding to our massive prison population. Toure the only one here that doesnt know that. By the way, in Texas there are women in prison because they had miscarriages, which is caused by laws made by republicans...

  3.  @mikhael636  People being from a place doesnt mean they understand how it works. Do you know how many Americans believe USA isnt an oligarchy, but according to you because they live in USA that must mean they know the system of USA better than anyone else.

  4. ​ @Gigachad-mc5qz  What's ironic is that capitalist enterprises such as Wal Mart uses similar models of central planning that was used in the USSR.

  5. ​ @anderhagea553  You never seem to account for compassion and empathy. Greed is one peice of human nature. Its existence isnt justification for building an economic system around it.

  8. I have had the same cell phone for about 5 years now. It is a giant slow piece of crap but I refuse to replace it until the day it dies, which I hope is another 5 years

  11. ​ TrickZzZ  Have you ever lived in capitalist Venezuela, a place with more privatization than the nordic countries? Have you ever lived in Societ Russia or China. The obvious answer is no, so why are you asking if others have.

  12.  @thefatbob3710  I'm sorry to break it to you, but corporatism is capitalism. You can try and say it isn't capitalism all you like, but that ignores how capitalism has functioned throughout it's short 400 year history. Competition isnt necessary for capitalism to exist. Just because the people who win the most at capitalism are doing everything to keep competition from happening because competition could take some if their marketshare, doesnt mean its not capitalism. Free markets arent a requirement of capitalism, especially since they have never existed. And its BORROW, not Barrow. Probably shouldn't bring up my grammar when yours is piss poor.

  13.  @TheHonestPeanut  Anyone who claims the majority of Americans don't need a car to survive are people who are completely out of touch with reality. How do people not need a car when there are no other safe alternatives? How do people not need a car when many cities have huge amounts of parking lots and highways? How do people not need a car when all we seemingly build is more and more suburban sprawl that doesn't allow any mixed use zoning? Yeah, you clearly don't know what your talking about. And its not consiracy, but well established history that oil, car, and tire manufacturers bought up street car lines and purposefully destroyed them to force people into their products. They then spent an insane amount of money lobbying our governments to get their products to be the largest receivers of subsidies in the world. None of these manufacturers build any of the infrastructure necessary for their products to work.

  14.  @TheHonestPeanut  The majority of US cities are nothing like Boston. Maybe try living in other cities, or visiting them, or listening to people who live in them. The video does not answer a single one of my questions, and I'm quite positive Hakim, someone who doesnt even live in USA, has a deeper understanding of how car centric USA is and how many Americans need a car just to get around. Weird that your calling me snowflake when the only person who has gotten upset is you. This seems to be pure projection from you. So how about you answer my questions.

  17.  @heartsofiron4ever  Again, I'm not asking how many years. I'm asking you what years you lived there. And killing of protestors happens in capitalist countries all the time.

  18.  @heartsofiron4ever  Sorry, you seem to have your information mixed up. The aggressors in this situation are the Israelis and have been since white europeans decided to put them all in Palestine to help destabilize the region. It started when the Israelis did a mass killing in 1948 just after they declared the land theirs. How is that peaceful? That is why other places declared war on them, not the other way around. How is forcing millions of Palestinians out of their homes and turning them into refugees peaceful? I dont think you understand what peaceful means, because the moment the israelis "declared independence" they started doing genocide. Sorry, but Jewish (and really everyone) people have no right to land that isnt theirs, and doing genocide to get it isnt peaceful. Thankfully the majority of jews around the world DO NOT supports Israel and the genocide they are doing. The Israelis are nothing but nazis in this day of age and you supporting these modern day nazis just makes you a nazi sympathizer. Also, gonna tell us what years you lived in east germany?

  19.  @triplea7536  noiphone100gajilliondead vuvuzela What about the constant bust cycles in capitalism? Those are clearly failures of capitalism. What about the fact that the majority of states that used to be a part of the USSR have never fully economically recovered? That's clearly a failing of capitalism. What about the dozens of poor capitalist nations that have people starving? That clearly a failure of capitalism. Funnily enough, using data from the capitalist world bank, when comparing the PQL (physical quality of life) of socialist and capitalist nationa at the same stage of development, the socialist nations give an equal or better quality of life than the capitalist nations. Seems like reality isnt on your side.

  23.  @monstera.i7008  Someone doesn't need to live in a country to know about its political and economic systems. Just as living in a country doesn't mean you understand that countries political or economic system. Saying someone doesnt live in a place and therefor cant understand its system is an absolute garbage saying mean to derail the conversation. Why would anyone want to derail a conversation?

  26.  @neonlight1214  You mean when there was 2 world wars going on? And no, we didnt support Stalins regime. Why would I question why USA supports genocidal tyrannical regimes? That would be weird to question since USA genocided an entire continent's worth of people. The country was literally built off slavery. We support Israel in their genocide of Palestine. USA is genocidal and tyrannical, so no theres nothing for me to question. Only reason to question is if you dont actually know that USA is the most evil country to ever exist

  27. @@apsoypike1956 Many actual economists are idiots and shouldn't be trusted because they love to deny the reality of how capitalism works. How is free labor and access to lands that have barley been exploited not a net profitable endeavor for a brand new nation? And yes, the Russia empire before the USSR changed everything did a hell of a lot of conquering. The USSR is NOT the Russian empire though. The USSR was a response to the Russian Empire and its immense power over the proletarians. So I'm not sure why your mentioning everything the Russian Empire conquered long before any soviets existed. How is it relevant?

  33. ​ @Frostchris4121  There are workers in China who jump out factory windows to kill themselves. Giving them the benefit of the doubt when they allow such massive exploitation to enrich the imperial core is truly fucking moronic. They can give more power to the workers while also combatting the American dollar.

  34. ​ @michealjackson3520  Yeah, this doesn't really explain why China couldn't have given more power to the workers, or justifies China's poor treatment of workers. reaching communism shouldn't require those working towards it to allow massive exploitation of those they claim to be wanting to empower.

  36.  @andrewrogers3067  How can they invade their own country? And why was the US military there long before? Why was South Korea a dictatorship at the time? Yet you say nothing about it? Or the part that South Korea was a dictatorship until like 1989, with US backed dictators. The US invades Korea before the Korean war started. USA were the invaders they were trying to expel from their country.
