    Free market economics has been thrown out the window. The collective wealth of the nation -- the U.S. treasury ---- is now at the disposal of the fat cats and their bought politicians. This crisis will be worst than the Great Depression.

    In their desperation, the bourgeoisie and their politicians are breaking all the economic rules that have governed their policy for the past 80 years. The capitalist system is facing its worst crisis ever.

    The capitalist system has been disintegrating for decades — it is in it’s death throws. It may have worked longer if they didn’t try to pair it with horse and sparrow economics but the two together are unsustainable. Increases in automation will be the final blow.

    Good riddance

    Democrats here celebrating the death of capitalism from the Chinese virus.

    Next time a Democrat tells you they aren't socialist or neo-communist think of threads like this.

    There is little difference between the Democrats in China and the Democrats in America. In fact the Democrats in china run the us media who run the American Democrats. American Democrats basically work for China.

    They even hide hurricane relief from hurricane victims.

    As part of the Iran deal they left drug dealers alone.

    The Democrat party doesn't have the intrest of the American people at heart. They represent the interests of the world in America. If you don't believe this you're behind the times.

    The apologists are frantic! LOL!!! They're working feverishly to produce more mud to sling. The stupidity is blatant.

    Staring at the contradiction of your sig line speaks volumes. Socialism is all about bringing people DOWN to the lowest common denominator, not lifting them up as Capitalism does.

    I see your knowledge of socialism is limited to capitalist propaganda and bumper stickers.

    Each capitalist crisis gets worse and worse than the last. They have nowhere left to go but to authoritarianism and despotism in order to continue fleecing the people.

    Conversely, your "knowledge" seems limited to socialist propaganda of memes & slogans.

    Interesting juxtaposition, eh?

    It "seems" that way to you because of your utter lack of any valid understanding of socialism. In fact you actively AVOID learning anything other than RW slogans.

    Isn't it time to grow out of your adolescent way of spinning and attacking? You even think you're being funny! Egad.

    Oh really? Let's look at all your Communist sh!thole utopias and the one thing they ALL have in common: Atrocious human rights records. China, Venezuela, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, Zimbabwe, El Salvador, and my favie: The Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. Sorry Bolshevik. But Communism is still the enemy of freedom, as are you!

    The two are not mutually exclusive, Sweden for example. Capitalism can fund socialist programs, and they do. The problem is that all these rich people and companies that you all dream of pillaging for personal gain can simply opt out of that system as they did when Sweden went all in. Now the system can work anyway, but while it would lift the lowest levels of poverty up, the high taxes would make it much harder to rise above the lowest levels. The instant loss of wealth from the mass exodus would leave us behind much of the world, and likely have China supplant us as the world's economic leader as well as leave China and Russia fighting for military supremacy (China would win in time.)

    What amazes me is that you all can't see that the ones pushing socialism are the same ones (The group in general, I'm not calling out any particular individual here) are the same ones against freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms and the concept of a free market.

    Listen to refugees from truly authoritarian countries and compare that with the horrible day to day of life in the U.S.

    The best advice that I give to you is to stop bitching about the system and concentrate on learning how to use it to your advantage. If your hearts are half as big as you claim, there are plenty of legitimate charities that work to pull people from poverty.

    No no no. You are confusing "socialism" with "socially-beneficial programs under capitalism". Neither Sweden nor any other country has an economy based on worker ownership and control of their workplaces. Socialism is worker ownership and control of production. Sweden, the USA, and all other capitalist countries have socially-beneficial programs to make capitalism more "palletable".

    WHOA, HOLD IT!!! Stop the insults and attacks.


    There will be no "mass exodus".

    Your personal opinion. Let's deal with facts.

    I did. I'm quite well off thank you very much. But I also see the injustices and the degeneration of our system that is causing the injustices. You would do well to open your eyes and see.

    The idea capitalism is dead or dying is laughable. But if your goal is to kill it I suppose celebrating tragedy in order to attack it is all that can be done.

    What a bunch of malarkey. Socialism would not handle this pandemic any better. If anything things would be worse.

    The real problem is calling what we have "capitalism". We dont have capitalism, we have a political system that was bought by corporations. Think of it this way, the term "economic freedom" used to be synonymous with labor, now it is synonymous with capital/corporation ;)

    How long are you going to dodge my gun control question. Why do you commies support gun control and yet at the same you tout class revolution? Keep dodging and I will keep asking.

    The word bourgeoisie is an interesting word. To a real revolutionary, having an individual toothbrush is bourgeoisie (read the Patty Hearst Bio for specifics).

    So do you consider yourself an oppressed worker? What "work" have you actually done. Inquiring minds want to know.
