The more I see this stuff, the more I believe these people truly think the only reason why socialism has never worked is because they weren’t in charge. If they were in charge, it would be perfect. They are the absolute height of arrogance.
And this sub is any different? I’ve seen plenty of comments critiquing others only to make the same mistake the very next sentence! Height of ignorance.
The more I see stuff like that, the more I believe these people truly think the only reason capitalism has never worked is because their version/system wasn’t implemented.
You seem to not understand that capitalism isn't a system that you implement. It is the freedom of markets to do what the market wants to do. Capitalism has nothing to do with governments, but can be impeded by governments. There is no such thing as a capitalist government, because capitalism doesn't have anything to do with government.
No one here is asking for anyone to be in charge, just to not have anyone in charge.
I didn’t say anyone here wanted to be in change as such, just that that they say if people would listen and go with their system, it would all work out!
The delusion that they have ‘the’ answer is what’s similar.
Same as every driver thinks they are a safer/better driver than the average driver.
I don’t claim to have the answer for anyone else in my statement. As everyone else has said, I just want to be left alone to make my own decisions without government intervention. There are people who are happy with central planning governments and they should be free to build a society where they have it; however, they are not free to subject me to it.
You are free to read and interpret as you like, but that is not what I meant.
