calling capitalism a scam is moot, the other viable alternative, socialism is even worse.

also, no country on planet earth is pure-capitalism, not even in US. Northern European countries have proven that market economy with the right taxation policies can effectively distribute income. I wished more wokeist knew about this or at least bothered to do a bit of research.

Love to be told I need to do research by someone who canโ€™t even use words correctly in a sentence

Gosh I didnโ€™t know a country couldnโ€™t be capitalist if there were taxes. Please tell me more about basic terminology everyone else in the world is using wrong but you.

โ€œi canโ€™t participate in a normal, healthy discussion and refute the other person with clearly made out points so I am going to resort to ad-hominem insults to gaslight and invalidate his points.โ€

the โ€œwokeistโ€ label wasnโ€™t directed at you, iโ€™m more commenting about individuals that take issue with cApiTaliSm but not really addressing the issue properly. Wokeists THINK capitalism is wrong BECAUSE it is capitalism. I am all for income redistribution and support a just and equitable society if youโ€™re wondering before you come at me again.

In any case, youโ€™re the one asserting itโ€™s a scam, shouldnโ€™t you be the one explaining why capitalism is a scam? the onus is on you mate, not the person cross-examining you.

France has no gold or uranium mines inside its borders, yet has a shitload of gold and uranium. Where did it come from?

I live in Norway. The system is fucked. The economy is full of monopolies and the solution is always to subsidise things that become unaffordable instead of putting a price cap on them. Private companies are allowed to charge whatever they want because they know that the government has their back.

The issue here is the lack of regulation. Regulations work. What doesnโ€™t work and is a scam is โ€œthe free market will autoregulateโ€.

Youโ€™re mixing socialism and communism. Going from here, you see more than two options what make it a non-binary issue.

Communism itself has multiple variations. What we saw until today with fever exceptions wasnโ€™t communism either. It was dictatorship using communism. At the beginning, they may believe in the ideology but once in power, they took another path.
