Capitalism has yielded more benefits including raising the global GDP per capita since the industrial revolution. Now centuries later its capitalism thats the problem all of a sudden, am I misunderstanding you?

Socialism on full blast will eventually run itself dry especially if enough people just seize to work driving down the profits keeping the system running.

Would be nice if people who downvote were forced to comment as part of the process, if I am wrong tell me why. I post for discussion, disagreeing is part of a discussion. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Here's some reality about the global GDP rising since the industrial revolution:

It is favor politically unsavory right now to acknowledge any good capitalism has done. You’re going to be downvoted because people have been trained to react to what you said like you just suggested slavery wasn’t too bad.

I wouldnt say slavery isnt too bad its horrible. But I hear ya I just rather they bring facts to the table instead of hiding being a button.

If my country goes socialist I'd move my profits offshore and I imagine most other productive members of society would as well. I think most socialism believers fail to understand how globalism will play into all of this
