WRONG! It's not the circle of Marx, the circle belongs to the people! Now shoo comrade, you just won a educational trip to siberia.

No matter what form of govt, if the people that run it are corrupt, it never ended well. Also look at every govt, that used a fiat currency.

Was looking for an old quote from I think Thomas Jefferson - said something like capitalism is the best economic option vs any other for a >
Skywalker2416
> moral and upright society. Realized trying to google it, that, fuck Google. It’s become garbage. Any recommendations for a better search?
notme222
Doesn't sound like Jefferson. In fact, no one used the word capitalism until Marx & peers needed a word to make economic freedom sound bad.

I use DuckDuckGo. Don’t know if better but claim less tracking.

You left out the CIA assassinating your leader, the US-backed leader becoming a dictator and letting US business interests rape your country
Cleverusernameisntsoclever
Which star of Russia did the cia kill? Which chairman of China did they kill? Did they set up Cuba? Or did you just mean in South America?
DontLookBackInAnger
I’d really like to know which leader you’re referring to.
notme222
I'm sure he means Chile. That Pinochet has been out of power for 30 years now with elections and power changes doesn't phase him.
Cleverusernameisntsoclever
The poster said it was all the cia’s fault...communism predates the CIA, I just wanted to know whom they were referring to

Now do the same with capitalism

You do it, we still have freedom, innit?

Establish lassaiz-faire economy > increase overall prosperity and quality of life for all > some get richer than others > thats life

As if 1% getting 99% of the wealth was a economical healthy situation. In the USA, poor people die from medieval disease.

Go read up on how well laissez-faire capitalism worked during the Irish potato famine. Hint: it didn't and millions starved.
notme222
Or did you mean the Corn Laws tariffs on food imports, which Adam Smith critiqued extensively and whose repeal Marx was against?
notme222
You mean when the British government outlawed Irish Catholics from owning land? Is that what you think Laissez-Faire is?
JMensch
Look at the response by the British government when John Russell is prime minister. That is laissez-faire capitalism. End gov relief, -
JMensch
- continue to export food from Ireland to England, do nothing but set up ineffective public works program. Cause starving people can -

Pay hundreds of dollars for a medicine worth 2 dollars, with no actual competition between the producers.

Rather have expensive medicine and healthcare than shitty or non existent healthcare
pip45
But for growing majority of us can't afford any of the medication or Healthcare to Keep Us Alive or working
DukeofKMS
Or have one of the best healthcare systems paired by everyone according to their income. You know? Like in civilized countries.
notme222
It's just a shame that all the people who really care about medicine are more interested in politics than actually making some.
DukeofKMS
What? Are you actually saying, ppl who speak out for univ. hc should rather be making medicine? Tf is wrong with you?
notme222
I'm saying I don't have respect for people who complain about how others do something but have no interest in doing it themselves.

Reread the last 7 words of that sentence until you find your problem.

Unregulated capitalism naturally leads to total control by a handful of monopolies. Laissez-faire capitalism also exacerbated the Irish -

- potato famine because the British refused to lend any form of relief believing the market would correct itself. It didn't.
