. . . there is an inherent tendency under capitalism to mistreat the workers . . .

. . . humans aren't strictly rational beings. Instead they often engage in self-destructive behavior.

You just have to know that it does. Key word is it "works."

Ignore Eccieuser at your peril. Given the demographics of our country and the preferences of certain groups like Millenials, socialism in the USA is a strong possibility. Logic and reason don't matter. They didn't to the Argentines when they elected the Kirchners or Venezuelans when they elected Chavez. Or Americans when they elected Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I am curious whether he's really a fan of Marxism and Communism or whether he's pulling our chain.

He is a Marxist- Communist DPST.

You need to do better than that. All evidence points to the contrary. I would sooner believe the earth is flat than you are capable of intelligent discourse.

But thanks for confirming ex-CEO and eccielover were right!

Now go self-destruct for your mentor Zizek.

Hey, eccieuser9500! Here's someone who explains, in very simple terms even the most boneheaded progressive can surely grasp, that "You may not like capitalism, and you may not be good at capitalism, but capitalism is good for you!"


https://fee.org/articles/you-may-not...-good-for-you/


So here's a challenge for you, eccieuser9500. Try to make a coherent argument, or at least post a link to an explanation that even the dimmest conservative could understand, showing how socialism "works." (Other than for the authoritarian in charge and his closest cronies and military chiefs, that is.)

Look at the classic recent example of how "Socialism Works" - Venezuela.
Sure works for Maduro and his cronies - who bankrupted the most prosperous country in South America!!!!
Bugs Bunny is not a cogent, constructive argument!

As long as I can read, write and do 'rithmatic better than the supposéd "leader of the free world" (and YOUR majesty), I don't need to prove anything to you. Measure his nitwit tweets against my post.

It wouldn't be this obvious, but . . .

. . . what if a Communist was elected democratically?

So here's a challenge for you, . . . .

(Other than for the authoritarian in charge and his (HIIIS!? Why not her? Reads like SOMEbody is stuck in their "good ol' boys" way. Yee (Hee) Haw) closest cronies and military chiefs, that is.)

My mother doesn't even know what's good for me. What makes you think I would beleive somebody who's never heard of me knows what's good for me?

The challenge sounds like I'd be describing how Caplitalism works too. Only the opulent few, and their, as you write, "closest cronies and military chiefs" (of staff), benefit in scale and reality when Capitalism works.

I'd like to ask Dr. Peterson what he meant by "the wealth of the poor."

The tax cuts created a $1 Trillion defecit alone. Now he wants to give away another $1.5 Trillion on infrastructure creating a $3 Trillion deficit in one year alone!

Now we have to make up the difference by selling (out) arms to our "drug" dealers.

Buuut . . . hey! He knows a thing or 5 about bankruptcies. Right?

The litigator who evicted an Empire.

And now it's reduced to memes. I like the last one of the hat trick of Empirical thinkers. I would retort that it's the capitalist who just moves (or hides) their bills.
