When have you realized we are living in the century where fascism/socialism has taken over the world? Capitalism is dead
All world capital concentrated in either governments or a few rich people

>>all world capital concentrated in either governments or a few rich people
doesn't contradict capitalism
>traditional morality being destroyed worldwide and replaced by a profit-based global morality
literally with capitalism is
>>Personal Taxes at an all time high, while corporate taxes at an all time low
doesn't contradict capitalism
>>Economic and media/social control at all time high
>economic

>>The state only exists to curb into following the wageslave life

Tell me how it is anything different from communism? I mean the Soviet Union was inefficient because the government hold on to all the wealth, but nowadays the government and some capitalists hold all population hostage and make them do whatever they want. What is the difference of nowadays to the Soviet Union?
Zachary Wright
>>Concentrate all wealth in the hands of a few
>>Remove freedom of press and thinking
none of these are contradictory to capitalism
if a business oligarch gets all the money through some smart business idea, then its capitalism
if a big corporation bans certain expressions in its vicinity, then its capitalism
>Remove freedom to entrepreneurship and gain your own wealth
>Make it impossible for competition in the internal market to arise
none of these things happened under fascism

I think you are confusing capitalism with USA also this

>none of these are contradictory to capitalism
The only way money can concentrate the way it does nowadays is with government support and the money from taxpayers. If you honestly think that every grand company is where it is nowadays simply because of their own merit you are really naive. Capitalism in its inception was completely related to small governments and a christian and moral society. Removing freedom and need a strong government to support your biz is completely the opposite of capitalism.
>none of these things happened under fascism
Lmao, you don't even know what fascism is. You probably believe that it is Hitler and kewl swastikas fuck da joos!!!

you have been on Sup Forums and have said this for years
and it's simply not true

you can't just make up definitions and expect everyone (in this case anyone) to agree with you

lol no
Ayden Thompson
>and it's simply not true
excellent argument, where do I subscribe. I mean I remember the 2008 crisis where the US and EU governments handed bailouts to every bank and every company, to the point that the US government bought GM from default. hahaha clearly the government doesn't subsidize big companies. I mean it's not like the interest rates in many countries are negative, or the taxes rates for companies everywhere across the free world is diminishing, because they can't create jobs or wealth. It's literally everywhere, you have to be blind to not see it
>you can't just make up definitions and expect everyone (in this case anyone) to agree with you
who is Adam Smith? Have you ever read a book to tell me about definitions?
>lol no
then tell me what is the definition of fascism

Kayden Hughes
>all world capital concentrated in either governments
That's mercantilism
>or a few rich people
with the help of government officials who help regulate monopolies and kill competition. Do you think big corporations don't perpetuate their hegemony through government regulation and subsidies? how naive
>>>Personal Taxes at an all time high, while corporate taxes at an all time low
false, laissez-faire policies oppose both high personal and corporate taxes. Only socialist governments,which by pure logic require bigger governments are pro higher taxes

Did anyone read this expecting it to complain about capitalism at the end? It was like a really bizarre twist

right back to you, but without the childish joke you inserted after that

never claimed that didn't
but it doesn't show that it's the only way for corporations to grow big
I mean it's not like the interest rates in many countries are negative, or the taxes rates for companies everywhere across the free world is diminishing, because they can't create jobs or wealth. It's literally everywhere, you have to be blind to not see it
so instead of actually providing me proof you are just gonna say im blind?
k
>who is Adam Smith? Have you ever read a book to tell me about definitions?
as i said, none of the things you said are contradictory to capitalism
capitalism is for profit
>then tell me what is the definition of fascism
an form of government characterized by authority
>with the help of government officials who help regulate monopolies and kill competition. Do you think big corporations don't perpetuate their hegemony through government regulation and subsidies? how naive
of course corporations can influence government, but that influence only grows stronger the less controlled corporations are
i would say it's naive to think that corporations will regulate themselves and not turn tyrannical and influential with no government
>false, laissez-faire policies oppose both high personal and corporate taxes
but capitalism is not confined to laissez-faire policies
>Only socialist governments,which by pure logic require bigger governments are pro higher taxes
so?

Ah yes, sure, try to compete with Apple/Motorola/Google/Microsoft when the government literally buys them out every time, all three sponsor every government project especially military ones which are responsible for almost all government spending in the US, now try to compete with these guys when you have no money, due to taxes, knowledge, due to not having money due to taxes and loans, or support, because rich people buy themselves out. But yeah you could probably set up a small company in the US, but I really really doubt you would be able to get it to become a blue-chip company simply due to competition as in capitalism really imples. As longs as there is a huge government protecting oligarchies forget it, it is not capitalism
>as i said, none of the things you said are contradictory to capitalism
If you actually read the Wealth of Nations or Theory of Moral Sentiments you would be laughing at what you are saying right now. You guys don't realize you are literally supporting the "leftist" elites you like to hate so much. You are literally falling into Soros propaganda
>an form of government characterized by authority
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA OMG You are literally a Sup Forumstard
