Competition doesn't drive innovation. It actually stifles growth as it harms the working class, minimizing their output as the fruits of their labour are claimed by the richest. If we are to progress as humanity we must secure equal opportunities for all, regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion or sexual orientation.

>"In order to drive innovation we must punish the innovators to make everyone comfortable with their lives" - OP

Update your dumb disinfo-chart to include hunger, sickness and dehydration deaths in commie countries, on a per-capita basis.

I dare you. I double dare you, motherfucker.

...

>Competition doesn't drive innovation
Yeah, things have basically been standing still in technology since the 1900s. It's not like we got computers that have doubled the amount of transistors and halved the size every fucking year since the 1950s.

>as it harms the working class
Yeah, the immense wealth we have gradually built in the western world, sure hasn't enabled us to provide better work conditions for the workers, at all.

Also, developing countries don't need less capitalism, it needs more. More trade, more markets, more cash flow. If you want to help them through other means, go ahead and help them yourself.

>implying that those deaths are directly related to capitalism
>implying that capitalism hasn't also helped billions on top of that while communism has helped nobody that wasn't a party elite
Solving income inequality by making everyone poor is not a good solution.

...

>b-b-but the workers should own the means of production!
You haven't the foggiest of what is entailed in running a business. Here's a grade school explanation

>Comparing all countries, including third world shitholes with a few industrialized states that had communism

A real intellectually valid comparison would be to compare the differences inside a country with alternative economic systems.

For example, compare how many died in soviet russia vs how many die in modern russia due to those exact same reasons.

SAGED

This is retarded on so many levels...

The working class isn't innovative. If you had the capacity to be innovative, you wouldn't be a fucking prole.

Equal opportunities =/= equality of outcome. Equal opportunities basically means that everyone is equal in the face of the law, so people can compete for a better standing in the society.

If you don't like competition, you don't like equal opportunities. If you're pushing for the equality of outcome, you're essentially repressing productive people and giving privileges to unproductive people. A society that functions like that is guaranteed to fail, and this strategy is utilized exclusively by failing, morally bankrupt elites in order to prolong their rule and avoid the anger of the masses by giving them some basic necessities and artificial conflicts to think of (basically bread and games)..

kys, you fucking commie.

So capitalism is to blame for not taking from working men and feeding the niggers and shitskins who cant feed themselves?

>Also, developing countries don't need less capitalism, it needs more. More trade, more markets, more cash flow.
Yeah so their entire industries are being taken over by other countries with cash and natives will never be able to control anything and are being discriminated in their own country.

We've had this in Poland already, it's a Western owned country. Capitalism was a mistake.

Capitalism is as flawed as the people who power it.

Yawn

next.

Nigger go home.

I'm going to guess you have a soft science degree and you don't have any real ideas to contribute to the world to help deal with these problems. Your graphic is even shit.

>For example, compare how many died in soviet russia vs how many die in modern russia due to those exact same reasons.
Soviet Union had a very stable economy with very low unemployment and high job security. And now look at a disaster the modern Russian economy is.
>you're essentially repressing productive people and giving privileges to unproductive people.
>working class
>unproductive
ok

the only unproductive people are CEOs who get 100x more than an average employee

>Competition doesn't drive the human spirit
I'm not even a capitalist but this is just silly. 3/10 made me reply

We've had capitalism for two years and then the state started regaining control and selling out the industry and real estate. If we actually remained capitalist none of that bullshit would happen.

It's funny how you commies always blame capitalism for your own shortcomings.

>Competition doesn't drive innovation

All of the greatest technological leaps the world has ever seen have been the products of war.

>one of the fastest growing economies in Europe, with -7% in 1991, with double the income per capita now since 1989, low unemployment rate, etc. complains about foreign investments
???

>includes data before communism ever was realized as a state philosophy (shouldn't start counting before 1917)
>is not per capita
>even the absolute numbers are not at all in communism's favor
>ignores the distinction between natural causes, and communist causes (there is not a single case of a capitalist cause of famine)
>ignores the fact that famines occured while communists were in power - and they did just as little to prevent preventable fatalities (or else, there wouldn't have been any)
And that's just to begin with.

Nice try. Better dead than red.

>Soviet Union had a very stable economy with very low unemployment and high job security.

Soviet Union wouldn't even have an economy if Lenin didn't trick western corporations into investing in his authoritarian shithole after the revolution. The entire fucking USSR started out with a bloodbath followed by a series of scams and a 70 year long disinformation campaign.

Same old fucking story...
> Have capitalistic system with little state control
> People vote/demand more state control of the economy by promoting socialism
> State acquires more control of the economy and hands out ownership of state assets to cronies/political friends
> Competition is squashed by the state & state cronies can do what they want
> Businesses become inefficient
> Economy gets worse
> People blame capitalism for the effect of socialist policies

>the only unproductive people are CEOs who get 100x more than an average employee
This is a commie meme polandbro, no better than the completely made up gender pay gap. Do not let me see you post this again. A grand majority of CEO's are quite important and on occassion deserve the pay we get. You don't know the details, and pretending to understand is going to weaken your understanding of the world.

>potato blight is capitalism
whoa

u obviously don't understand that if those people died from famine under a "capitalist" system, even more would've died if the system had been more "socialized"... it's a simple concept desu... just like far less would've died in the soviet famines had there been a more capitalist system... you people don't even understand the point you're attempting to rebut. so pathetic.

just kys you stupid fucking commies

sage

Pretty good, but this chart should acknowledge the drawbacks of capitalism too... that in theory, it's possible in a capitalist system to get unlucky and "fall through the cracks" and just end up dirt poor through no fault of your own.

That's the emotional trigger that really drives people to think socialism is a "better" solution. That would turn that chart from utopian propaganda to utilitarian propaganda, acknowledge that people who support capitalism aren't just heartless assholes who haven't thought about what can go wrong-- they've fully understood the implications and still consider them better than the alternative.

>Yeah, things have basically been standing still in technology since the 1900s. It's not like we got computers that have doubled the amount of transistors and halved the size every fucking year since the 1950s.

Don't worry, the commies are coming for the computers. They'll be unusable soon enough.

>Soviet Union had a very stable economy with very low unemployment and high job security. And now look at a disaster the modern Russian economy is.

What a great "stable economy" where if i was lucky i could eat sausage once a month and only wait hours in line to get basic groceries every fucking time.

Fuck job security and low unemployment if that's the cost!

If you truly want everyone employed just demand they dig holes with spoons instead of using backhoes, it will be amazing for the economy.

>basically the entire world is capitalist
>only a handful of commie nations
>the only way they can make a beneficial comparison

Kek, adjust this for population and time exposed to communism and we get a very different story

>capitalism harms the working class
Says the wagecuck who gets to shitpost on a computer, in an ACed room, while waiting for his microwave to warm up chicken nuggies. All of the commodities that make up modern life that we take for granted were only available to the masses through capitalism. Without capitalism you'd be a dirt farmer who only own the home, furniture, and goods he could make with his own hands because the state determines you only need a whole in the ground and half a loaf of bread every day to survive.

Of course you are a capitalist cuck.
>We've had capitalism for two years and then the state started regaining control and selling out the industry and real estate.
But this is exactly capitalism at it's finest. This is exactly free market. Selling when there is demand. Motivated by greed our politicians let the Westerners to take over our industry and media.
Such a total bullshit. A lot of them were simply developed by innovative individuals, usually not even connected to military at all.
Foreign investment only spur growth to some point, then they stifle it and make the developing country to fall into the middle income trap.
No one ever deserves a 300x salary of an average worker. They don't produce such value, they simply secure high incomes because they control the system, they are able to take these money away from real workers.

You're fucking retarded. Every developing country has had an increase in living standards since industrialization and expansion of free enterprise. They may not be millionaires but going from living on 25 cent a day to more than $1 for millions of people is a big difference.

>What a great "stable economy" where if i was lucky i could eat sausage once a month and only wait hours in line to get basic groceries every fucking time.
This is bullshit.

Anyway, Soviet economy was constantly sabotaged by the capitalists.

>posting that debunked shit

Communism: The ONLY system shitty enough to make White people starve in the last century.

No you're just a dumb ass who thinks the grass is greener under reds.
>blog.chron.com/thetexican/2014/04/when-boris-yeltsin-went-grocery-shopping-in-clear-lake/

all people are the same, race doesn't matter

Yeah because China, Japan, India, Turkey, Iran, Northen Africa, Ethiopia, Germany, Vietnam, Somalia, Uganda, Congo are/were Capitalist

What a moron

>1928-1930
>Northern China famine caused by famine
What, if the CPC controlled instead of the KMT it would be an agrarian heaven?

>commies literally believe this
Then why are they always starving to death faggot?
Shoooo

What the fuck are these niggers too stupid to dig a well?

>No one ever deserves a 300x salary of an average worker. They don't produce such value

If the CEO of General Motors sucks balls hard, he can bankrupt the company and cause an economical disaster by causing over 215,000 to go unemployed and alot of investors to lose their money.

If you have a stake at GM (job or investment), you better want your CEO to be a competent person event if it is 300x the salary of the average worker.

Read Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell or go KYS Commie.

>buzzwords: the post

*drought, not famine

Go read Zero to One by Peter Thiel (audiobook is free on youtube).

Competition is for losers.

More competition = race to the bottom in prices = lower profits.

Hence why restaurants are shit businesses.

If you want to really make money you have to innovate. And create a new market with no competition (initially). This allows you to gain a large market share and establish a monopoly.

Corruption and mismanagement keep the southern hemisphere poor, dying, and undeveloped. Food, clean water, roads, and education aren't denied to the impoverished because they are unprofitable but because those people are politically unnecessary to the regimes ruling them. 3rd world despots aren't dumb. They don't give the means of expanding a population to enemy tribes. They don't educate or provide medical care to rival party-members. It ain't pretty but it works for the regional strongmen. It sure is a good thing they don't have to worry about colonialism, the racist white man, and his human rights bullshit.

>But this is exactly capitalism at it's finest. This is exactly free market. Selling when there is demand. Motivated by greed our politicians let the Westerners to take over our industry and media.

No, it actually isn't. Capitalism can't exist without a transparent and/or virtuous government, and the governments that sold us out were anything but transparent and virtuous.

Capitalism isn't for the government, it's for the people. In order for it to exist, the government can't act as an agent on the fucking market. That's why countries that were supposed to have a free market also had governments with very limited power. When the power of the government started to expand, capitalism started to fade. At this point the biggest corporations that are in cahoots with corrupt politicians are running the show and are doing everything in their power to prevent the people from re-establishing a truly free market.

In venezuela, where I come from :], 70 people die every day, thats communism for you fucking retard

>ecure equal opportunities for all, regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
specially for families with more than 6 children. Because, fuck economy we must feed other people's babies.

Capitalism dindu kill most of them. It didn't prevented them from dying.
