I exaggerated with the piece of shit comment obviously, but you're a centrist according to political compass.

You might have conflicting beliefs that weigh against each other, skewing your results. Political compass is actually a pretty shitty way to accurately measure where you stand.

If you're pro-marijuana legalization but anti-gay marriage or anti-abortion, you're virtually guaranteed to be portrayed as a centrist by this website.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what socialism is. It doesn't perclude capitalism, only dampens the effects of accumulation of capital and provides for the worker. Communism isnt socialism.

socialism is the democratic ownership of the means of production.

Can I get some sources fag? That is not even remotely true. Capitalism has created more wealth for everyone and even the poor of today are much better off than the poor of many years ago. That is all thanks to capitalism.

>FDR and the new deal saved us until ww2 hit and capitalism got the momentum that led us into perpetual war that we are still in today.

FDR prolonged the depression by depression by 7 years. The new deal was a disaster and FDR's policies have led to most of the waste in our government today.

alternative energy would explode in a free market, because there would be a balance.

non-renewable energy would explode because less regulations, but alternative energy would also explode, because they compete against each other. also, cost of living would be at an all time low.

so not only would everyone be better off today, but everyone would be better off 20 years from now because alternative energy would be cheap and effective.

there is no balance right now. we are damaging the environment, but the regulations in place aren't allowing companies to grow at a balanced rate. understand what i'm saying?

You are seriously fucking retarded. People might think "taxation is theft" is a litter idiotic, but what you're purposing is literally theft. You don't get to take what someone has worked there life for. I set out with a goal to ensure that my children and their children and beyond don't have to worry about finances. If I want to leave my money to them I think it is a no brainer that I given that right to give it to them.

I understand how business is supposed to work. A man takes a risk and invests capital into a money making machine. Others contribute to the machine and recieve a fair cut of the earnings, and the owner earns a fair larger amount for his risk and initial investment.

That's not how it works today. We have CEOS breaking the law and running companies into the ground, while walking away with millions in bonuses. Don't psychoanalyze me, I get that business owners owners should be compensated more. I just firmly believe that mega billionaires who own more capital than most nations is an unhealthy concentration of power and is incompatable with a true democracy of the people

oil lobbiests wouldn't exist if the government was limited and the market wasn't regulated. lobbying wouldn't exist period.

declaring war on oil would be one of the dumbest things you could do. you realize oil is in almost everything, right? the cost of living would skyrocket and the middle and lower class would be FUCKED. F U C K E D.

whereas if you let the free market go to work, you would have things balanced out, and nobody would be suffering. we'd have alternative energy in everyones households for cheap in under 15 years.

wut?

The basis of capitalism is literally that people ARE greedy. That's why it works.

I'll leave you with a quote explaining this:
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." - Adam Smith
>>
>>721078398
we might have the tech today, but we don't have the market to support it. we need a free market.

if you cut oil drilling by even 20%, cost of living would go way up, and everyone gets poorer. want to see real riots and chaos in the street? not this yuppy liberal bullshit people are doing right now. real riots.
