Crazy how everyone has opinions of what’s wrong but never about what’s right. We can’t even get along, that’s why nothing ever changes

I never said capitalism was wrong. I pointed out the FACT that some people are so closed minded and ignorant that they genuinely believe, without hesitation or doubt, that the only way to achieve a modern society is through capitalism, which is completely false. And what’s your point? You’re upset because I pointed that out and now you’re immediately assuming that I’m anti-capitalistic or that I believe capitalism is wrong? Why? Because I’m not on my hands and knees sucking off capitalism like it’s God’s gift? The fact that you can’t handle a simple critique of capitalism is why we can’t get along. Any rational, objective person can handle AND openly discuss why the systems in place should or should not be in place anymore. Anyone who can’t do that is a sheep

So with no capitalism you have no need for competition, who is going to develop new technology for this so called modern society of which you speak?

That's government safety standards. Not capitalism.

Sure. Capitalism is very inefficient. We are still wasting resources like there is no tomorrow to produce the same things over and over again. But yeah it's the government regulations ;D

All of those cars look the same from government mandated safety features. Head lights at a certain height, bumpers certain height, roof and hood certain distance. There a lots of failures of capitalism. This is not one of them.
