Dear Friends, Enemies, and Frenemies . . .

In an effort to educate myself, I have been looking into reasons why
'socialism' or 'Capitalism' might be better . . or worse.

Today, I have a site which produced for my edifications Ten excesses
of capitalism. (I lost the site, but I have the list.)

I intend to use this list to point out the absurdities of the lovers
of socialism.

And, OCU, feel free to defend socialism . . . if you can.

Excesses of Capitalism.

10 Inequality
The common capitalist mantra that “anyone can be rich if they work hard enough” is a fallacy. There’s only so much room at the top. In order to make money, first you have to take it from someone else. This can be done through selling things, taxation or any other means. But this means that the rich cannot exist without the poor. Any way you look at it, there’s never going to be equality under capitalism.

>>>
Inequality has been with mankind from the very beginning. And
there is no 'civilization' on earth without it. From cave man
days where the biggest meanest sum-bits got the prettiest girl
and the choicest cuts of meat to Jeff Bezos and his gazillions.

Socialism is no exception. Kim Jong-un lives like an emperor
while his people - North Koreans - deal with famines. Maduro
of Venezuala lives (or is it lived?) in the Presidential
palace. In socialist countries the 'elites' are rich and
powerful - from stealing from everybody else. At least in a
Capitalist country the rich did something to earn it.

By the way, that line about "first you have to take it from
someone else", is false. The socialists will take 'it' from
someone else. When things are run legally capitalistically
the capitalists have to 'Sell' their products to get the
money from their 'customers'.

9 Waste
In a society where resources are not evenly distributed, there is always going to be the wealthy who have an excess of resources. While occasionally these resources are given to the poor, often this excess is wasted. Millions of dollars worth of food is wasted by those who have more than they need, while there are many others who desperately need it.

>>>
Socialist or Capitalist - there are ALWAYS the 'rich'. Living the
extravagant lifestyles. Resources are never 'evenly distributed'.

But OK. Copper has value. So lets collect it all up and evenly
distribute it. Now everybody has a chunk of copper . . . worth what?
For most people a chunk of copper has little value and because
everybody has a chunk of it it has no value.

But some enterprising types will trade for other peoples copper, turn
it into wire and generators and power lines and get rich making and
selling electricity. Now copper has value.

In a capitalist society, resources get bought and sold, recycled,
whatever to make a buck.

In a socialist society, resources get 'redistributed' - out of the
hands of those who can make good use of them and into the hands
of folks who haven't a clue. With an obscene portion of the value
being stolen by the 'socialist rulers'. (How else do you think
all those 'dear leaders' manage to keep their palaces so pretty.)

8 Starvation
Of course, if some have an excess of the resources in society, there are others who do not have enough. In Third World countries, many are starving because they cannot afford to feed themselves, while those in Western countries fatten themselves with an excess of food, and waste the rest of it. There is enough food in the world to feed the entire world population.

>>>
Here is a case where the liberal retard who wrote this has absolutely
no idea as to what he typed. "Western countries fatten themselves
with an excess of food". Think about it. Just how do these 'Western
Countries' manage to even have an excess of food?

Back during the Cold War . . . The Socialist Russian Union had chronic
shortages of wheat. They had to buy wheat from the U.S. We had such
an excess of wheat, we could afford to sell it to Mother Russia and
still our grocery store shelves groaned with the weight of all our
bread.

The Capitalist American Farmers grew that abundance of wheat.
And the Capitalist American bakers turned it into an abundance of
bread.

Socialism just doesn't 'get it'.
Zim.


Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll go on to the next bunch.

And, OCU, feel free to comment and make counter arguments.
