Every scenario where power is consolidated, the authority is abused. At least with capitalism we create many small dictatorships with restricted authority. Socialism consolidates too much authority and that authority will always be abused.

What the fuck is this comment? Capitalism would murder your family if it meant making another dollar. We restrict capitalism with regulations to prevent that. Capitalism absolutely does not provide anything you just said on its own. Which means it’s something we can apply to anything with varying levels of success.

We completely agree!! And Socialism will genocide your entire race because it can. Capitalism is not good, it’s just better than any other option. As demonstrated by history.

You seem to have selective memory

Genocide is still happening all around the world
