You can damn something all you want but it doesn't make it a free society when the only "capitalism" is black market". How many people have been jailed for exercising their freedom in health & medicine? Hell, you can't even shave someone's beard or sell lemonade without a friggin' license.
How about we talk about a real republic, real freedom, real capitalism, and free trade instead of living with ObamaCare, the WoD, the MIC, etc., etc,. etc.
There is no spoon.
I said:
There IS NO CAPITALISM in the US. What is called "capitalism" in today's political world, is MERCANTILISM.
And this was caused by a corrupt government run by CRONY-CAPITALISM, which is NOT capitalism in any sense but does give the term a bad rep to the ignorant.
There is no spoon.
What's your definition of socialism?
Here's my definitions:
Capitalism: A system that puts the rights of the individual above the needs of the state.
Socialism: A system that puts the needs of the state above the rights of the individual.
Since crony capitalism is basically redistributing wealth to certain groups, and redistributing wealth is basically putting the needs of the state above the rights of the individual who had his wealth stolen, I lump crony capitalism in with socialism.
You got it bass ackwards. The government has the force, not corporations.
"In the United States today we have in effect two governments... We have the duly constituted Government.... Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution." Wright Patman
-Major General Smedley Butler, USMC,There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

The reason why I have my Saddam Hussein avatar is purely because he loved Doritos- it has nothing to do with anything else. The reason why I have my Hitler avatar is because he fought against the global banking regime that hamstrung Germany after world war 1 it totally has nothing to do with anything else..

I agree. He's wrong in so many ways. As I said before "imperialism" is caused by statism so it makes no sense to be in favor of one aspect of statism (socialism) and be against another aspect of statism (imperialism).
Also in reality the citizens of any country run by Che Guevara would be desperately BEGGING to be imperialized by the US. Not that I think US imperialism is a good thing, I'm just putting things in perspective.
