Those who criticise capitalism have not given an alternative successful system. Marxism, Socialism would have kept us dirt poor. The irony is those who are opposing capitalism are using the tools such as Smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, Mac Books, Super-Fast Broadband to fight for a Marxist Communist Society. This shows the utter hypocrisy and the vindictive nature of socialists. They contribute nothing but want to steal from the Rich once they make money. Why couldn’t the socialist start “Amazon” or “Google” from their garage or spare room. They can’t.
There is no socialist Marxist Communist success story. There are horrendous stories of failures, waste and incompetence. Look at East/West Germany story. Socialism/communism did not lift people out of poverty. Castro lived a luxurious life like an oligarch smoking cigars and screwing hundreds of women while his people remained dirt poor. That’s what socialism is. Capitalist lifestyle for the leaders & socialism for the people.
China embraced Capitalism with both arms.
What we need to do is to fine-tune capitalism. We are doing it already to some extent. Systems need to be created for compulsory minimum standards of life, free educations and basic needs because that itself would help make capitalism thrive. Many billionaires came from nothing. Invetive startups came from nothing while the Marxists keep hating people who are working to make a difference.
Today the Marxists will see me as just another person. If I make a million bucks tomorrow, they will start hating me. Just like that. Marxism/Communism/Socialism is one of the greatest threats to human survival.
