As someone who supports socialist movements I 100% agree. But I really think the big problem in the world right now is the misunderstanding of capital basically. People think capital or money or anything that involves government is capitalism? Or something? I don't really understand.

But just because people we might call capitalists pearl clutch about socialism doesn't give someone the space to do the same back, or really just lie/be ignorant. We can definitely discuss the flaws of economic systems or the system we live under and some solutions. But stamping "CAPITALISM BAD" or "SOCIALISM BAD" literally gets us nowhere.

Won't last. Youtube offers financial incentives and originally when Youtube got big it had lax as fuck censorship which is what gained it's initial popularity. Unless China is going to be entirely lax in the same way, there is no incentive for people to move over.

I don't understand your comment.

You're listing things and going "BAD" so Capitalism is bad.

A trading bubble is really just economics. Can't really say Capitalism causes that. The East India Trading Company is mercantilism which as evil as that specific company was the idea of trading goods from one country to another is like the core of our entire economic trade system today. Teapot Dome was flagrant corruption which happens in any economic system, the Canal and the railroad are more examples of labor exploitation which you can easily argue was less bad than the labor exploitation that came before it and led to better labor laws in the country.

It's like you're pointing at a gun and saying "FIRE MADE GUN, FIRE BAD!" because guns kill people. It's pretty caveman.
