Capitalism good or bad?

[Wirbel]

Theorerical assertions without a shred of empirical evidence, but a lot of propaganda. I said that the backing was theoritical and explained why it was theoritical. Then I continued on to provided the theoritical backing.

Thanks for making that clear that you're pulling things out of your behind. Prove that capitalist societies have a higher rate of production and inovation then communist socities. With empirical evidence. Oh wait you can't for the same reason that the backing for my statement is theoritical. You must draw on theory as much as I do. Does this mean you are pulling things out of your behind? (to use your vulgar terminology)

The United States of America is the richest, most advanced nation in the world. Give me one example of a country with more wealth and power that is not capitalist.

(Would make a lot of sense too. We just pretended to decolonize to remove the competition )

[Sibirsky]

Because you're the one arguing that people don't need big SUVs and flat TV screens. Or computers. Therefore, lead by example and practice what you preach. I think I've told this to you before.

I rely on my computer for research purposes.

You don't need research.

Sell it, you hypocrite. Better yet, give it away.

[Samuraikoku]

Ehm...darn it. Well donating money and food and whatnot is just as good.

So you admit defeat.

My work here is done.

There are none. And this is because capitalism breeds wealth and power, but also poverty and slavery. The true metrics of a great country are happiness, health, and education, not military might and money.

Knowlege is power.

Or use the damn State service and go to the public library, as suggested. WORKERS' REVOLUTION!

Knowlege is power.

So is money. Whats your point.

[Death Metal]

I'm not specifically calling you a freak. I'm calling us all freaks. So that makes it ok.

I'll do one better, and argue that every living person is abnormal (ie a "freak") by nature of being alive, due to the sheer ratio of living beings to deceased beings.

Knowlege is power.

Guard it well.

You power-hungry monster. Go be a Fascist, Mussolini.

[Sibirsky]

Ah, so you don't want to donate your non-essential computer, but you preach others to do it.

I don't think you see the hypocrisy in that.

Ehm...darn it. Well donating money and food and whatnot is just as good.

Which capitalists do a lot more of. Those filthy, greedy capitalists. ]

I get overboard (lately) with subjects like this so I am just going to say this, capitalism is good its has made nations prosper and without it we would not have things today, examples are computers, internet, superpowers, cars, the industrial age, etc. Sure it has stumbles and is corrupt (sometimes) but it has made so many nations (when used right) successful and prosperous.

There were shortages of necessities. Not to mention the fact that wants are important. Not as important as needs, of course. But important, nonetheless.

Important? The hundreds of shoes a woman wants is important? Really?

Enjoyment is important. Whatever people enjoy, they should be able to get, as long as it causes no harm to anyone else.

You think people can donate shit if they don't own it?

Knowlege is power.

So why not read books.

Look just stop now you already lost the debate. Everyone knows your aguments is bullshit.

Knowlege is power.

Yet you...

A) have very little knowledge.
B) don't need it.

I'd look for one, but you'd dismiss it anyway.

So long as they pay for it themselves, of course.

So is "Meh", "Eh darn it", or spitting out empty platitudes like "Knowledge is power."
