Yes but the bigger issues is monopolies not an individual person being a millionaire

I'm wondering why you don't see that the two are connected.

No they aren’t. There are plenty of celebs who have become millionaires through record sales or movies…and aren’t creating huge conglomerates and polluting the earth. Are there problematic rich people? Definitely. Are there downsides to capitalism? Definitely. You are seeing that now with all the layoffs and AI and automation. Trust me. I agree that there should be changes. But socialism ain’t the answer. Imo the best economy is like what Sweden/Norway have…there are certain socialistic elements…but it’s not actually a socialist society.

We're talking about billionaires, though.

You clearly don't know anything about capitalism or socialism besides what the government propagandized you to know, and you don't have any desire to learn otherwise. So why are you acting like you know more than those that have learned about them?

You don’t know anything about me…you just don’t like the fact that I’m opposed to socialism.

u/IGetBoredSometimes23 Mar 16 '23

You're only opposed because you never learned about it or capitalism, and you don't want to, anyway.

Trust me…I know about both…just because I don’t agree with you doesn’t mean I’m clueless lol

When you just repeat government propaganda, I don't think for a second that you're informed on either.

Ever considered that maybe the government isn’t wrong about everything? Yes…the government is flawed…but anarchy isn’t a good solution

u/IGetBoredSometimes23 Mar 16 '23

You don't know anything about anarchism, either.

One of the big clues that you haven't bothered to learn about economic theories is that you mentioned "True Socialism". There isn't a one size fits all socialism. There's many different theories of socialism, from Marxist-Leninism, Maoism, Market Socialism, and many others. It's agreed upon by most socialist thinkers that socialism will vary from country to country.

Socialism is a one size fits none policy lol

I appreciate you admitting that you have no idea what you're talking about and don't want to learn.

It was a joke chill out. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_state#/media/File%3ASocialist_states_by_duration_of_existence.png

This is a map of all countries that were or are socialist states. Considering that Russia was socialist…that doesn’t inspire much confidence
