Tell me you don’t understand how competition breeds innovation without telling me.
Also, explain to me how nearly every country that exists, uses a capitalist socioeconomic system if it is such a failure.
And yes, capitalism is how we got not only the iPhone, but mobile phones in their entirety- along with the services that allow them to work- aerospace engineering, advances in pharmaceutical technology, and pretty much everything you see around you. Is it perfect? Fuck no- no unchecked system is ever going to be, but unless you have a working model to present that illustrates how you can get the largest superpower on the planet to convert its entire government and economic footprint- maybe can the smug bullshit.
Though do be sure to go ahead and keep using all the things capitalism allowed to happen as a result of a free market while pretending to stand firmly against it. I’m sure all the people in whatever circles you post in that are dumb enough to not see the hypocrisy will think you’re soooo kewl!
Everyone else will see it for what it is.
