Why Capitalism Is A Success (And Why Socialism Isn't)

You know what? I'm gonna just come right out and say it - Capitalism is pretty good. It allows people to work and earn their way through life. It's a system of merit, where quality will naturally rise due to quality demanding more money, and money affording more luxuries. I know that this isn't always the case, but it seems like people who want to tear down capitalism are people who don't understand the concept of meritocracy - or are unable to compete within one. Of course, capitalism has its problems. Unregulated capitalism lead to the horrorshow that was the industrial era, but human rights regulation has largely solved that. Homelessness and grinding poverty are still a problem, as is the nature of banking and stock trading. But these things are better off tackled within a mixed capitalist economy with sensible government regulation, instead of insane ideas like removing money from society or returning to the nomadic darkness and superstition and fear characteristic of the time of our ancestors, or communal living where everybody is equal because everybody is poor and starving. No. I'll keep capitalism, and the human rights, technology, and enlightenment-era western democracies it has created, thank you very much. ----- Tweet aggressively at me: https://www.twitter.com/shortfatotaku SFO Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SFOtaku My Minds account: https://www.minds.com/shortfatotaku My Gaming Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/NoTalentGaming My Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/shortfatotaku SFO/NTG Discord: https://discord.gg/n2Whky9 Support The Show: https://www.patreon.com/shortfatotaku ----- Links: Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian - https://mises.org/library/why-nazism-was-socialism-and-why-socialism-totalitarian Why Stalin Starved Ukraine - https://newrepublic.com/article/145953/stalin-starved-ukraine THE CULTURAL CONTRADICTIONS OF SOCIALISM - https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/social-philosophy-and-policy/article/the-cultural-contradictions-of-socialism/DBE5909773CE9A79A45D18FE8E0F12D0 Venezuela: Teenage Girls Turn to Prostitution to Fight Starvation - http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/11/03/venezuela-teenage-girls-turn-prostitution-fight-starvation/ Venezuela’s Crisis Is the Latest Example of Why Socialism Doesn’t Work - http://dailysignal.com/2016/06/03/venezuelas-crisis-is-the-latest-example-of-why-socialism-doesnt-work/ Kapitalizem Za Telebane (non-english source) - https://wmeworry.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/socializem-ne-deluje/ The Road To Wigan Pier - http://www.limpidsoft.com/a5/wiganpier.pdf Pets or meat?
