(December 7, 2013 at 1:51 am)I and I Wrote: Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Haiti, most African nations are horrible places to live solely because of capitalism and it's side pet beliefs like religion.
Again, I ask HOW was capitalism to blame for the problemsof Afghanistan, Haiti, Saudi Arabia, ect. Unless you can explain that, I'm just going to dismiss you as another pathetic hipster activist who wants to automatically hate everything that's mainstream.
Quote:North Korea is poor because of sanctions. Forcibly starving a nation then blaming that nation for it is quite stupid but is a common thing among capitalists.
They always struck me as being a poor nation because their psychotic leaders are using nearly their entire national budget to support their military. That isn't sanctions.
Quote: The Soviet Union was comprised of many countries that became poorer and life expectancy lowered after capitalists took over.
Ok, when did these vague people you describe as "capitalists" take over? I can't tell you why your statement is stupid unless I understand what you're talking about.
But, you still haven't addressed my question: what do you define as capitalism and what would be a system other than capitalism that's worked effectively?[/size]
