Refuting the Standard Arguments Against Communism and for Capitalism

Evidence?

 

I simply didn't feel like rehashing.

 

Hmm, so the pervasiveness and enormity of the multidimensional badness of capitalism proves nothing. I see.

 

Again, more's the pity.

 

Yes, opinions don't matter too much.

You would need to show your system is relatively better.

 

18 yrs old - teenagers? only shows how your local authorities have taught you manipulate facts; and teenagers can't be criminals?

you also seem to make a huge point of few defection cases; propaganda at its worst.

 

'cause Western agents were unable to get in, so the CIA & MI6 had to hire the locals.

 

What a beautiful demonstration of how completely brainwashed the Russian people are.

 

Do your research. Learn history. The Berlin Wall is well documented, don't be so lazy. Remember, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

 

This is quite amusing, given some of the fundamentalist, apocalypticist irrationality that you've expressed.

 

The way the Founding Fathers of the United States were able to show that a democracy would be a better and all-around more enlightened form of society before they actually had the power to create one (not that they did create one, or even wished to, they were benighted elitists whose minds had no truck with genuine democratic enlightenment after all, but according to the American ideology that you probably buy into they brought into existence a shinning example of democracy)?

 

And still no evidence other than whataboutery.

 

I see, simply dismiss a point that you can't effectively rebut.

 

Some of you might perhaps be interested in perusing my new post on globalism, here's the link,

I certainly agree that "For the economic system to serve the people, the people need to be in charge", and his proposal is certainly one step in the direction of a system geared to empower workers.

 

You don't provide evidence so there's nothing to rebut. Simple.

If you don't want to look hypocritical, you can address the black-white achievement gap after adjusting for economic background.

 

Mm-hmm, you really have quite a preoccupation with justifying racialism.

 

I just wanted to observe, again, that Trumpites must be quite hard up for a hero if they have to settle for a narcissistic member of the capitalist ruling class like The Donald. One must muster up some empathy and feel sorry for them, for they know not what they do.

 

Here, dear fans of the "free market", is a truth-telling documentary that might prove to be quite educational, that might actually help to disabuse you of some of your erroneous ideological beliefs about the capitalist system,

Of course, alas, some pro-capitalists will never see the light.

 

GREAT video, charles! Thanks!

 

well, maybe, but not any more then you West folks, who always have lived in an environment of this Orwellian spin conducted by your local authorities.

that's what i done. Berlin wall events, as documented, point exactly to how they been generalised, falsely assumed, exaggerated & manipulated by Western propaganda later on.

.

 

No you didn't do any research, I do not believe you one tiny bit. There are still many people living who witnessed those events.

 

yes they are, and what do they say? Berlin wall victims - how many & what circumstances to make a point of this in discussion on Communism vs Capitalism?
