thats this part of what i said: "or you have to spend all your money on rent to protest. you cant be middle class and live at home with your parents to save money and protest."
the better systems have been tried and exist along side capitalism...just like capitalism existed alongside feudalism and slavery.
What countries are practicing this better system or systems? Name those systems.
i just did. germany, italy, spain. do you have dementia worse than joe biden?
They are all capitalist countries. And Spain and Italy are both having serious economic problems because of going too far with social programs. We could learn some things from Germany, but there are reasons why the U.S. is stronger economically.
P.S. You must have mentioned Italy and Spain elsewhere because I only see Germany.
exactly and you saw it and you forgot worse or as bad or not as bad as joe biden
they are mixed economies like america and they have different systems working along side capitalism some which work better.
You said you mentioned three countries but only mentioned one. You losing it too? And none of those countries can be held up as overall better economically than the U.S. but I'd be willing to try some of what they do if it makes labor's life better. But it has to be sustainable, can't cause things to fall apart. Exactly what happened in Greece, and Spain, Portugal, and Italy, France too, are teetering on the brink.
No, they don't. They are capitalist countries that do a few things differently than we do. There is no different system that's co-equals with capitalism.
the original question if you forgot like joe biden was do competing economic systems exist together. and i said yes where what im talking about is most prominent. even in america you have capitalism, government intervention, slavery in florida fruit fields, slavery in jails, and neo feudalism which is what our middle class is devolving into.
me and richard wolff usually like to blame capitalism and describe america as capitalist but its a mixed economy really, mostly govt intervention and capitalism.
The Canadian middle class is devolving into neo feudalism? Good to know. There have been cases of poor share croppers being forced into a kind of slavery. Was that allowed to continue? No, when it was found out people were arrested. 330 million people Ricky. You can't point to a few cases and say that's the way it is. And governments intervene to protect investments and jobs. Sometimes it may not be warranted but when things are really serious it's about keeping economies from collapsing. To avoid instability and impoverishment. Always interesting when people who support strong central government to run everything lash out at governments who assist business during trying times. Why do you do that? Because you want everything to collapse so that people like you can try to step in and gain complete control. So save your crocodile tears about government intervention.
as far as govt intervention is concerned im not sure if its mostly to protect the rich or average joes.
We recovered nicely from 2008 when a businessman, a damn capitalist, won the presidency in 2016.
no you didnt 2008 has been ongoing. said businessman has done bigger bailouts than 2008.
Said businessman signed off on bailouts, also known as relief, that were passed by Congress. Only half of which is controlled by his party.
democrats are party of the rich too since at least bill clinton.
