The Doctor isn't incentivised to do hard work because he makes the same as everyone else, and neither are the unskilled workers who make the same as Doctors.

any working class person who is anti-communism is brainwashed into buying a mortgage and paying car payments.
they can not afford to go any other route.
they can't afford to stand up for thier own working rights.
the bank doesn't give two flying fucks if they miss a few payments because of strike action, the bank will take the car and the house and sell them at a profit to some other stupid fuck.

Libertarian socialism in my opinion is totally different it is anti authoritarian it's libertarian in the original sense and I do see people that have to go to Canada to get surgeries and basic medical health care. We don't have it here because capitalism sees healthcare as a product and not a right. Trump wants to do let people starve without EBT. So I guess capitalism completely ignores the poor as well
>>734164904

The majority in authoritarian African shitholes where the population greatly exceeds the amount of people the land can sustain. Not Capitalism

because the food has all moved into the rich capitalist countries, away from backwards dictatorships where the government don't care about their people because they don't need their votes. Not Capitalism
also
>forgetting about the tens of millions who died under communist shitholes like the USSR and Red China as a result of Communism
>enough vacant homes for every homeless person
Homelessness is a genuine issue, but capitalism has bought it to an all time low. Most of those homes are sat on by banks who wait for interest and look for buyers, but I feel it should be made easier for these homes to be rented out and perhaps a tax on unused business owned property should be introduced.

>>734164936
Putting a nice word in front of socialism doesn't change its' endgame. All types of Socialism turn into Socialism.
No, capitalism isn't perfect. We've currently slipped into a corporatism, not capitalist. It's been proven that capitalism has ended more hunger and poverty than any other system that's been attempted.
Also, healthcare is NOT a right. You have the right to life, you do not have the right to demand service from someone because you're an entitled little brat. It costs a doctor 8-10 years of school and hundreds of thousands of dollars for med school. After all of that, you're saying their services are to be handed out against their will? Bernie has fucked your mind beyond comprehension. Look up Bernie's primary financier, and see if you still feel the same way. change.org ----> George Soros.
You don't want communism. You want socialism
>>734165298
So you agree that the US is a oligarchy built on crony capitalism ?
>>734162046
Capitalism gives the common man the opportunity to take an idea, and with capital from his own labor or through investors' capital, and develop a product, etc.
He is then free to price it at what the market decides is the value. And from there, our industrious friend employes others, grows the business and creates wealth - by being allowed to take risks he can reap the reward.
In your retarded fantasy world, the "workers" -eg. government - would smother this innovator with regulation or outright steal it from him "for the people."
No incentive for the janitor to become the doctor. You take away the agency from the individual to control the value of their labor.
Communism inherently steals the liberty from the individual for the betterment of the state.
It has nor will ever work, and has murdered over 100 million people in the 20th century alone.
Commies deserve death. Period.

So long as everyone has ample opportunity to succeed and progress in life, which the vast majority of people in western countries have, then there is no issue
While some may be born into more wealth than others, no matter what background you were born into you will lose wealth if you're stupid and lazy, and you will gain it if you're clever and hard working
No, it's not perfect, but if my life's work is ensuring my children don't get bought up in the same white trash commie block shithole that I was born into, it'll be worth ever ounce of effort

This one question goes unanswered by Communists once again
communists are corrupted politians whom yell to the people that they work for the people, they produce the anarkist riots, they secretely rich themselves with the money of the people.
They buy properties, retire as billionaires when they worked as presidents and senators, living a good life in the capital, travelling around the world, with the excuse that they will participate in workshops.
the great example of shit is the left party in Chile
>>734162470

>>734163393

>>734162046
They say communism will fail because it has always failed, but what if communism is reinvented with technology? Remove human corruption by using open source software to manage resources.
>>734166603
wut
gotta add some detail anon.
The US wasn't founded on on crony capitalism, but it turned into it when the federal reserve became privately owned. On and off the gold standard, wall street screwing with our dollar. It's a big goddamned mess. Politicians are currently above the law (hillary), the rich can now affect laws through lobbyists and the media can create whatever news line they want to create mass hysteria without having to be held accountable.
So, yes. Capitalism isn't perfect. Kennedy tried to undo the deep state back in the 60's, and anyone that points out motives to anyone other than oswald is considered a conspiracy theory nutjob.
All in all... Capitalism isn't perfect, and the older I get, the more I scream and curse the news because of it. But I'd much rather sit in front of my 60" flat screen and yell at politicians, get in my 350z to go to the store and buy useless shit on a credit card with high interest rates than stand in line for 6 hours for a loaf of bread. The relief of knowing that "Everyone has the same miserable existence that I do" isn't comforting enough to take away my luxuries, my fast food and my half asian gf.

You're going to be a part of a societal structure every where you go. If you honestly believe that your participation would be more fairly distributed in a socialist/communist structure, then there's no hope for you.
Anyone that's ever been a part of a group project in school knows this. And only the members that fucked off but still passed because someone else did all the work would honestly want this later in life.

You can't have your cake and eat it to. If you're going to nitpick what counts as communism, then I can easily argue that communism has never existed - and we both know how pointless going down that road is.

Hitler killing Jews was democide, and that was under capitalism. Instead of arguing this small point though, let's look at the big picture - because it's not about the atrocities of the past. Those are universal to all system of government and economy. Instead it's about efficiency. Capitalism, in freeing people to fend for themselves, was by far the most efficient system we were capable of - until the advent of computers.

Comparing the depression to the costs of communist and socialist countries is like comparing a hiccup to a heart attack.
Directly following the depression is an era of greatest economic growth in history.

It's simple... Capitalism = your work for your own gain, knowing someone else will gain as well. Whether it's a boss, or a client, your work will have to benefit someone else to be profitable.
Communism/Socialism = your work for the gain of the government. You don't keep the results of your labor.

You said "Hitler killing Jews was democide, and that was under capitalism." which is wrong for 2 reasons. The Holocaust is fake. And National Socialism is not capitalism. I personally know that there were many atrocities committed under communism but if I were an uninformed person I wouldn't know that and you would need to give examples. Saying "I don't want to tell you" loses arguments and makes people not want to listen to you. You have to always give examples to make your point. Not to mention your entire post itself is gibberish.
>>734170326
Can you name one time in the history of capitalism that there were atrocities done to the citizens of a nation the government itself? Capitalism is about less government.

I think that being able to assume and work with common ground is just as important for effective communication, but let's stay on topic.
My point was that communism of that past could never compete with capitalism because capitalism is more efficient and and less unacceptable to corruption. However, this is not necessarily true anymore, see >>734167245. I'm only speaking of philosophical theory here, so if that's not your cup of tea we can end this conversation.
