  1. Ryan Overstreet How can you prove that communism/ socialism was the reason? Socialism works for a few decades, but it is not sustainable beyond that because there is no incentive to be productive.

  2. Ryan Overstreet Time magazine praised Stalin because it is a globalist publication. The globalists financed Stalin’s 1930s industrialization in the hopes of making him their Communist puppet. Stalin took the money, but changed course towards promoting family, playing his own game. After the Second World War, the globalist communists realized it and started the Cold War. There might be historical records, and higher life expectancy may be a fact. However, you cannot tie socialism or communism specifically to life expectancy. A lot of people died during the war, famine, repression, and perhaps the ones who survived were stronger and that is why they survived and were able to live to old age in the 50s and 60s. I think that life expectancy increased due to the improvements in medicine, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promotion of hygiene and sanitation.

  3. Ryan Overstreet Yes, they have. The most recent example is Chile which have transitioned from a developing to a developed country status. It has a free market economy and is thriving.

  4. Ryan Overstreet You are evading the issue by switching to a different topic. Human history, for the most part, is a brutal story. People killed each other fighting for land and resources for thousands of years. When Americans were killing Native Americans the Ottoman Empire slaughtered Christians and Jews in Constantinople, which was in the 1500s. Yes, the more recent treatment of black Americans was harsh and evil, and Americans are trying to make up for it by various means, including teaching kids in school, having affirmative action, anti-discrimination laws, etc. You talk just about the brutality in the US, but not about the brutality still happening in Zimbabwe, the genocide in Rwanda, the white genocide in South Africa happening now. In terms of brutality, America or capitalist countries were not different from any other country of its time and, perhaps, even less cruel. It is because the US is a superpower with clear records of history that others demonize it. China is killing thousands of Christians and Buddhists, harvesting their organs, and nobody talks about it because they are not open about it. America admitted its mistakes and tried to make it right, including not making Native Americans pay taxes, letting them run lucrative casinos to make up for brutal history. Germany is still paying reparations for Hitler. Those are the two countries that have done something to make up for what they’ve done, and that is why everyone knows it talks about. Other crimes in history and happening now are swept under the rug.

  5. Ryan Overstreet That’s not capitalism, that’s globalism. Globalists use the coercive power of government to control people. Corporations would never become big without government support in the forms of corporate welfare, bailout insurance for the banks, defense contracts, prison contracts, like you mentioned. And it is not politically correct to say it, but I will. African Americans tend to commit more crime, hence, they disproportionately represent the prison population. And some individual cases may have been unfair, and I’m willing to even advocate for those people, if they have been locked up for decades over a non violent offense. Capitalism has to do with liberty and taking risks while being in the position to either reap the rewards or lose your shirt. Government intervention hijacks that.

  6. Ryan Overstreet The thing about Marxism, socialism and communism as the ideology is that it sounds great, but it is not compatible with human nature and not sustainable long-term.

  7. Ryan Overstreet That being said, I’m glad you are on this channel, open to debate, searching for answers. I once thought socialism was better than capitalism, but something about socialism just didn’t feel right, and couldn’t figure out exactly what it was. I have read many books, listened to various viewpoints, and looked at the real world. People vote and choose capitalism every day. They vote with their wallets and their feet, and the vote is not going to socialist countries, and never have, when the Soviet Union was still around. I’m not saying that capitalism is some utopia, it is just the best there is right now.

  8. Ryan Overstreet Fukuyama is an obvious globalist and Soros type leftist. There is a video here on Prager U on Liberalism vs Leftism, there is a difference. I think that the poor and the old should be helped, but I don’t think the government should do it. Nonprofits competing for donations can do a much better job, and people can donate willingly.

  9. elso US foreign policy is part of the global communist agenda. Communists/ globalists have highjacked many governmental institutions in the United States. These interventionist policies have nothing to do with capitalism, but everything to do with globalism and the so called New World Order.

  10. EpicBLUE RAT999 It’s globalists who infiltrated US government. Your friend can begin by reading Tragedy and Hope followed by Kissinger and Brzezinski.

  11. snowissj Capitalism isn’t democracy, but socialism and communism are very similar. Communism is utopia, and socialism is communism in real life. Both communism and socialism focus on the central government control of the people, economy, production, laws, courts, etc.

  12. snowissj Everything that is negative about America is due to its socialist aspect. There is no need to get government involved to take care of the poor and old. There are thousands of nonprofits in operation that can do it, and anyone can donate. There is no need to force people to pay the government.

  13. Bosnian Nationalist No, they are not both individualist. Communism is collectivist.

  14. Bosnian Nationalist I don’t buy this anti-Jew nonsense. Some Jewish people are bad, others are good, just like with any ethnicity. Because Jews didn’t have a country for 2000 years and wanted to preserve their religion in Christian and Muslim countries, they stood out and were made a convenient bogeyman. I am from Russia, and both of my parents share your anti-Jew view and have been telling me how greedy and self-interested Jewish people are. I, on the other hand, have evolved, studied history, talked to many different Jewish people in Russia and in the United States, and disagree with this anti-Jewish conspiracy. Are you aware that Dennis Praeger is Jewish? Does that make him as evil as the Rothschilds? I recommend you read a biography of the Rothschild family by Niall Ferguson. German Jews lived in absolute squalor and cramped space. They had to pay a fee to leave the city and come back to their ghetto in Judenstrasse. They didn’t know what it was like to be in the garden or breathe fresh air. Some bigots might say that at least they were allowed to live. But this is reality and not some made up stuff. There are globalists, very evil people. Many are Jews, but also Christian, Muslim, Chinese, atheists, satanists. It is very unintelligent to spew this type of nonsense in the age of the Internet when the information is at your fingertips.
