Donald Trump is a product of cronyism, not capitalism


He is a beneficiary of, and supporter of, government regulations that benefit some at the expense of others, e.g., eminent domain. There would be no eminent domain laws in a truly capitalist system (which has never existed). He also opposes global free trade and supports tariffs, a form of government regulation that benefits some businesses (i.e., those that manufacture locally) at the expense of others (i.e., those who manufacture overseas). In other words, he doesn't like free competition in markets.

The question is, when will Trumpers come together with leftists in their opposition to capitalism?

I'm sorry, what was I thinking? I bow before your rapier wit and vastly superior intelligence. Obviously somebody who can only hurl schoolboy insults is an absolute fucking genius and they and their ilk should totally be taken seriously.

You fucking pleb you think calling people fascist or nazi is legitimate political discourse, you're mentally fucked in the head from swallowing too much jizz. Oh I can only hurl insults? What a bad nazi I am, LMAO fuck off you dumb fag.

It's a double standard that has always existed on both sides of the argument.
Both sides want total freedom for themselves and heavy restrictions for the other side.
What neither side has discovered yet is that any attempt of restricting the other side always backfires at yourself.
The left wanted to censor hate speech on social media and what they got was social media not only censoring but banning left wing channels, because the right wingers were more than willing to follow the demands for censoring, they just executed it on the other side.
The right wants free speech extended to money in politics being redefined from bribery to be free speech and at the same time silence the entire left calling them out for their corruption and that doesn't work either.

In the end it won't be left and right uniting against capitalism, we know that from the aftermath of 1929.
In the end the middle class will realize they aren't benefitting from rich people getting ever richer, they will turn around, join unions by the millions and become a force against the tiny minority of the super rich that the rich cannot suppress any longer. They elect a president like Roosevelt who taxes the rich and gives the middle class their fair share of the economy back, but capitalism will remain.

Capitalism isn’t perfect but its miles better than Socialism.

Socialism has always failed; history has proven that.

reply

Capitalism IS perfect, it just has never been perfectly implemented.
