What is this comedy hour? Still fucked either way, small group controls under both. Capitalism can turn on a dime, have you noticed, must have been that “small group” again.

The elites on the left all know what socialism means, that is why they are pushing it.

If RE weren’t banned from commenting on TBP he would explain to you rubes how Potlatch is a superior to Capitalism and Socialism. 11 out of 9 Crypto-Anarchist agree. Potlatch is the wave of the future.

I you don’t want that socialism crap change your name to Vinny and move to Pennsylvania and join the Teamsters Union / extortion racket. Only white guys need apply if they have a relative on the inside to hook them up. That is how Capitalism works over at the Union Shop. Get job at Meatball trucking driving a Mack truck and make lots of money for doing as little as possible decade after decade and than cry like a little baby when the country goes to hell along with the pension fund because of your crummy work ethic. It’s all the fault of welfare trash and libtards.

Capitalism is a free market under the control banking interests

Socialism is entitlement spending financed by money borrowed from bankers

Capitalism is where everyone wants to fuck you out of your money. However if you are smart you can bargain and negotiate an equitable deal for both sides of the transaction.

Socialism is where you are just fucked out of your money and there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it.

Toyota, the liberal choice and the home of most Obama bumper stickers.

Real American’s buy Big 3 vehicles made by Union Goons.

In a capitalist country ( The USA ) they had a game show called ” You Bet Your Life ” . Moderated by Grouch Marx….a comedian .

In a Socialist Country ( China or the USSR ) they had a game show called ” We’ll Take Your Life ” . Moderated by a Chekist …who wasn’t the least bit funny .

Now, how ’bout giving it a go one more time being honest, and compare Capitalism to Democratic Socialism, which is the really important contrast right about the now. You can look it up yourself.

The major difference is, with Democratic Socialism the government works for the people instead of the corporations.

Westy, there you go again “The government works for the people”. You know that died in 1913. Until Americans have their own honest money system, government serves the Elite.

Good memory. For newer visitors, RE is Reverse Engineer, whose brain was totally reversed. One of only two people, if I recall correctly, whom Admin kicked off the site. Both deserved it.

RE posted a long-winded treatise extolling the virtues of a potlatch economy, to which Stucky hilariously replied in one sentence, “That’s it? People just sit around and trade shit?”

A short lesson in Capitalism vs. Socialism. I studied under Prof G. Reisman, a student and prodigy of Ludwig Von Mises, that is how I recognized these many erroneous comments. Socialism appears to be understood, but, most commenters are clueless as to what real Capitalism is. To understand Socialism, I recommend studying Von Mises book, Socialism An Economic and Sociological Analysis, found for free at Mises.org. Also, expand on that knowledge by studying Capitalism by Prof. Reisman, found at Capitalism.net.

In general you must understand that Communism, Fascism, Nazism, Totalitarianism, Imperialism, Dictatorship, etc. are all organizations of society practicing Socialism.

“The essence of Socialism is this: All the means of production are in the exclusive control of the organized community. This and this alone is Socialism”

Socialism An Economic and Sociological Analysis Ludwig Von Mises p.239

“In the terminology of Marx and Engels the words communism and socialism are synonymous.”

Ibid p. 543
Socialism has never worked, neither has Communism, Fascism, Nazism, Totalitarianism, Imperialism, nor Dictatorships, as they are all forms of Socialism.

“For a socialist order of society is unrealizable. All efforts to realize Socialism lead only to the destruction of society. Factories, mines, and railways will come to a standstill, towns will be deserted. The population of the industrial territories will die out or migrate elsewhere. The farmer will return to the self-sufficiency of the closed, domestic economy. Without private ownership in the means of production there is, in the long run, no production other than a hand-to-mouth production for one’s own needs.”

Socialism has never worked and will never work.

IBID p. 511

Economically speaking there are two forms of governance SOCIALISM or CAPITALISM

(AKA Slavery vs. Freedom).

SOCIALISM is the means of production are in the exclusive control of the organized community, while

CAPITALISM is an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.

Crony-Capitalism, which everyone here is complaining about is really Fascism [a form of socialism].

The forth quadrant is the correct answer for both. The second and third quadrants are for children.
