Tyrannical, coercive governments create famine.

If I were as bad as you are at this, I’d stick with anonymous as well.

Considering that it’s the farm subsidies that lead to the cheap, processed food that makes people fat, it can’t really be capitalism that’s the problem….

Pretty pathetic answer Anon, and with nothing to support it but righteous indignation.

“… please explain how 40 years of increasing spending for the Great Society programs have no eliminated poverty. ”

Because that same 40 years saw a tiny handdful of investment bankers steal trillions

Anon, please explain how 40 years of increasing spending for the Great Society programs have not eliminated poverty. Please explain which socialist societies have eliminated poverty.
Please spare us the bleeding heart and try to use what is between your ears. Capitalism does the most good for the greatest number. Even in socialist society there are many poor.

N Korea was the more developed and industrialized area of the peninsula at the end of WWII. S Korea was far more agrarian. Now, S Korea is industrialized, modern, and happily contributing to the great global warming myth. N Korea’s citizens have to eat grass when there isn’t enough UN food welfare being handed out to them.

So on behalf of the North Korean people, thanks Communism!

All major societal advances over the past 500 years have been a result of capitalism and the private ownership of resources.

We aren’t living in mud huts, starving to death in the winter, and dying of plagues… thanks Capitalism!

Bud Light beer is 50 years old? Bud has been around, sure, but I’m thinking Michelob light was the first of the A-B Light beer brands.

You might be on to something. Maybe we could use some craft medicine, craft oil, craft auto, etc.

“Please name a socialist, collectivist, communist state that can adequately offer as many people as high a standard of living as enjoyed under capitalism.”

Please name a socialist, collectivist, communist state that has the same amount of debt as the US does under capitalism.
