    Capitalism is the only economic model that consistently works.

    Every time socialism/communism fails everyone is making excuses why but capitalism keeps moving along making people’s lives better.

          That was a “common” experience of a small percentage of people. The rest of the world was heavily exploited.

              So after a global war destroyed every other country, the only place whose industry and infrastructure wasn’t in ruins, whose cities were intact, whose population wasn’t murdered by bombing, some of those people did pretty well.

              US of A is about 4% of the world. And I’m pretty sure not everyone in US wasn’t equally well off.

      Dude, I am fully and thoroughly committed to hating communism with a deep and heartfelt passion, but capitalism absolutely can be a nightmare if abused, and right now it absolutely fucking is. This level of income inequality is like capitalism laced with meth, rat poison and literal shit.

      So, yea, I guess “consistently” is the only word in your comment I disagree with.
