Every time you hear "without capitalism, nothing would get done," remember... capitalism didn't invent work, it invented wage-dependence. Humans built cities, farms, and art before payrolls and quarterly reports existed.

There is nothing wrong with capitalism. There is something wrong with unbridled unchecked all dictating capitalism.

Capitalism works fine with a healthy dose of socialism and a government that sets proper boundaries for capitalism.

But if you keep thinking that socialism is communism and you don't want government regulations....

Well you get what you asked for, don't complain now, this is what you wanted and now you have it.

    There's nothing wrong with capitalism he says and then goes on to talk about how capitalism is inherently so wrong it has to be bridled controlled and limited. This Pitbull is perfectly gentle, sure I have to keep a muzzle on him and always has to be on a very strong tight leash or in a cage securely and if he's not he'll go on a killing spree but he's perfectly gentle.

    No one system will work you dumbass. Every system on its own will fail, you need to cherry pick from several systems.

    Is it really that hard to understand, but if you think your Pitbull analogy is even remotely correct then yes it's obvious you went through the American educational system.

    Capitalism has fundamental contradictions that lead it to crisis, contradictions that government intervention can't handle.

    You have monopolies naturally occurring due to snowball effect that get recreated even after government break ups, inherent overproduction that happens due to the nature of commodity production, wage labor and surplus value extracting ensuring that it's physically impossible to buy everything that we make, and so on. This shit causes wars, crises, etc
