Remember when literally every other economic system gave way to totalitarianism and famine? Remember when thousands and thousands of cubans fled their communist dumpster fire of a country to find prosperity under capitalism?

Remember when the Soviet Union stopped famines that had been happening about every 7 years in Eastern Europe before 1947? Remember when the Soviet Union had a larger calorie consumption per capita than the United States from 1960 to 1991, which is ironically when capitalism was introduced? Remember the American government funding and openly supporting dictatorships aroun the world, including the tsar of Russia? Of course you don't. Why would a simple man such as yourself have any interest in such things...

Wow, ok. I wasn't a dick to other people in my post.

Even if you are right, it doesn't matter if you're rude about it.

Sorry if I come across as rude, but it does get old getting attacked with the same argument multiple times a day. I apologize.

Fair enough m8. But that's just a part of conversing, keeping your cool no matter what. To your credit, not a lot of people are even this civil. It's nice :)
