CAPITALISM HAS FAILED THE WORLD

[Prince patrick]

They told us that capitalism gave us cars, phones and jobs. The truth is capitalism gave just a few people cars, phones and jets, and gave the rest of the world poverty, pollution and debts. Capitalism has not failed because it is weak, it has failed because it did exactly what it was designed to do. To make the rich richer and the poor poorer. I will tell you how!!

(1) It creates wealth, but for who!! Look at the world today, 8 men own more wealth than half of the world combined, in Venezuela we hear and see oil flowing every day, but the people who live on that oil cannot even afford to drink good and clean water, that is not success, that is theft legalized by economics. Capitalism says "work hard and you will succeed." Tell that to the farmer who works from 5am to 7pm and still connot feed his family. While one CEO earns his whole years salary in 10 minutes. Hard work is not the problem, the system is.

(2) It destroys the plants for profits!! Capitalism only cares about profit not people, companies cut down Forests, pollute our rivers and warm the planets not because they have to, but because it is cheaper. When the plant burns, they will not suffer, they will buy air conditioner,  buy clean water, and fly away. But we will suffer. A system that kills the earth to make money has failed.

(3) It turns humans into products!! Under capitalism, you are not a human being, you are just a customer or a worker. Your health is business, your education is business, your food is business. If you have no money, you have no value, is that successful world? A world where sick children dies because his mother cannot afford hospital bills? That is not freedom, that is cruelty. They will say "give us another system". We don't need another system today. We just need to admit that this one has failed. Capitalism has not only lifted the world, but it has looted the world.

[_act_]

Be it capitalism or socialism, just make sure you are surviving and do not think like common men. Instead of blaming the system of government, it is better you put more work on your own self-building.

You can not change which one your country is practicing now, but you can have a better future by facing the reality than blaming.

There are many rich people in a good capitalist country.

[YellowSwap]

Stop blaming the government, I've never seen smart people putting blame on the government, same as those rich and wealthy people, they don't care, instead of blaming them why not blame yourself?

See how fast you will change,  blame yourself for been the weak one, blame yourself for not finding a way out of the mess, start challenging yourself, there are many skills people can learn but it takes a bold heart to take action.

I have got to know that even if this world is better than what it is right now there will still be many people throwing blames around,  accountability is something that people don't have anymore, it's now more scarce than piece of Gold.

Yesterday you started this topic where you claimed corruption and war are not the major threat to our economy, instead you shifted the blame on billionaires and you were corrected by some experienced users: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5599681.msg67338852#msg67338852

And you have come yet again with another new frustrating topic.

Capitalism says "work hard and you will succeed." Tell that to the farmer who works from 5am to 7pm and still connot feed his family. While one CEO earns his whole years salary in 10 minutes. Hard work is not the problem, the system is.

Maybe, they meant to say "work smart and you'll be successful." There are  farmers who are very successful at what they do.

I was expecting that at the end, you'll suggest an economic system you think is the best so we  can debate about it, or maybe a new proposed system you have drafted out yourself, but here you are, just blabbing.

It's your brain that's failing you, no matter how much you refuse to admit it. Keep it up, and you'll stay poor and bitter your whole life.

I guess someone here is also frustrated. Please do more reading. I'm not here to say things to please you.

When a child misbehave in public who takes the blame? We are in a society that has blinded us from the truth. Tell me what is wrong in holding the government accountable when things aren't going well? I speak on behalf of the masses. Not you.

We also need to hold people responsible for their actions. We can't be in a messy society and keep quiet when things aren't going smoothly. So we just keep quiet and work. So when does things gets better? I believe your parents corrected you when you made few mistakes as a child? Let them be corrected. We are all praying and hoping to have a more structured country and society..

Next time, you don’t need to reply each post individually you can reply them in just one post. That’s the Forum standard.


Complaining about it won’t solve it. You should work towards making efforts to solve the problem rather than just typing a post and posting it on a forum with no government representative.

Communist countries still exist today, you can move there if you want but if you leave the league of people complaining about everything and blaming someone for their poverty, and choose to put in the smart effort then you might probably get the riches you desire.

What is difficult for you to understand here, you’re told about creating garbage threads, instead of you taking correction, you’re claiming to be right in what you’re doing, how do you learn when you’re not taking corrections, judging from your date of creating this account I can tell you’re still a newbie, or you’re probably hiding behind this account, I must tell you that this topic is just garbage.

I love this mentality so much, because there is no excuse for failure. Many people keep blaming the government for their failure and fail to admit that there are still rich and successful people in this same failing country. Though to a large extent, the economy of a country have a huge impact on the lives of its citizens but that is no excuse to keep pushing for success in this midst.

A country like the US have a better chance at economic expansion than a country in Africa and that is because of their government, but countries in Africa would need to do more than the minimum to be financially stable and that's a hassle.

The capitalist system was not originally designed as a plague to destroy people's lives as long as regulations were made to limit that group of people. They can build all kinds of business competition, innovation and all kinds but with restrictions such as only a fraction of a percent. For me, Economic Freedom still plays an important role, as long as it does not dominate the market indefinitely. Unfortunately, as long as the government joins with certain people to pass all means, in some countries when it comes to the peak of economic inequality, the people will fight, rebel until there is a civil war.

But why is China a socialist country, but you can see huge inequality in the country? There are some kind of inequalities in socialist countries, not that they are perfect there. You can see poor people in socialist countries also and in some countries, they are many than you think. Example not socialist countries with many poor people is Vietnam and also China. Although China and Vietnam has some capitalism characteristics, but what about Cuba that is completely a socialist country, there are many poor people in the country.

Capitalism did nothing. Human beings did. They adopted Capitalism in wrong means, raising it to the modality of Wild Capitalism, which puts profits above everything, while putting quality, welfare and satisfaction in second plan.

The world shouldn't get rid of Capitalism, otherwise we are going to enter in even worse systems of governments such as Socialism, Communism or Anarchy. Rather, the world should get rid of Wild Capitalism.

Life needs balance, and balance between working and having spare time for creativity plus entertainment to take place is what we need, while also having access to a source of income enough to provide perspectives of thriving financially along the life.

You are angry and full of rage against Capitalism, and that makes your mind blurred and fogged. But it is indeed shocking that few individuals in the world possess more belongings than billions of people together. It's not about gathering the fruits of their work anymore. It's something pathologic, because it's a sum of money/patrimony much above what any human being could even think about using somehow.

[ColdLava40]

We don't need another system today. We just need to admit that this one has failed. Capitalism has not only lifted the world, but it has looted the world.

If you continue to focus on what you don have, you might end up stuck in your thoughts longer than you can imagine.

Capitalism favors those who puts in the work, and just like how investment works, it is the amount of effort you put in that will determine the kind of fruits you will bear.

Everyone cannot be on same level, a rich man will stay rich because he controls more assets and investments that can put him back on his feet even when he fails.

An average man with very little asset may not rise back up as quick because he has nothing much to rely on.

[Churchillvv]

Exploitation is the foundation of development and the root has been rooted so deeply into the soil that it’s hard or probably impossible to leave them out. Now firstly, capitalism of course is not inherently evil but it was an exploitation system that was just named capitalism, you are not really wrong with your accusation how bad it has made the world become today but one thing you must know is that you can not change it. Change only occur when the same elites stops benefiting from it then it’s regarded as evil. But to the common man it’s bad until he or she starts benefiting from it. In the ladder of life those at the top makes the wrong and right.

Blaming them is what we can do for ever but that can’t change anything but perhaps we become one them our complains can become something.

As I grow older and get to know how economy works in countries like Nigeria, despite the big gap in wealth between the rich and the poor, people still struggle and make the best out of this situation. They neither put into consideration what system of government is being practiced. What they are after is how they can make the best out of every situation to make themselves richer than they are before.

In every system of government, there are always the ones that will benefit more from it than others who mostly complain and don’t seek to go outside the box to explore opportunities that will benefit them.

It is hard to change a system when everyone who sees the wrong got used to it. What little person can do in changing it when everyone has accepted and became part of it? no system is perfect and good. But as long as it's done and there's the majority who's having a good life, it worked for them. It's sad to see people complain and yet whichever system is adopted, won't still help them. This is the point of others that regardless of what type of governance they live in, they'll still complain and won't have the initiative to work smartly for their lives and become better with it. All they'll do is whine, complain that the system is bad instead of focusing on their growth and making their lives better than before with or without the governments help.

We should think in terms of figuring out long term sustainability metrics to fight inequality and pollution instead of dwelling more in the ills of capitalism.

The government should focus more on state planning wherein taxes are used to create better services for the citizens and there should be a mandatory elimination of absentee owners, thus making sure in the society that the wage ratio is balanced and the environment is well appreciated and taken care of to ensure public health and safety, and when it comes to choosing leaders, it should be a system that encourage one person one vote and not a rigged system because of the wealth in-balance that dominates and blinds citizens of their rights.

[trendcoin]

The three main points you examined contain striking observations.

Your third criticism is, in my view, an undeniable truth. Of course, it’s somewhat exaggerated, but I agree with the thesis that capitalism turns people into commodities.

I don’t think your second criticism is about capitalism. Capitalism does not destroy nature. Greedy people destroy nature. It is our collective duty to prevent the destruction of nature.

Your first criticism, in my view, is the weakest. If you can explain why Olympic athletes, who for the first time in their lives had the opportunity to leave Cuba, sought asylum as refugees in other countries, we might consider revisiting this criticism.

They told us that capitalism gave us cars, phones and jobs. The truth is capitalism gave just a few people cars, phones and jets, and gave the rest of the world poverty, pollution and debts.

My God, what an imbecile!
France had more cars in 1920 than Romania, Hunagry or Bulgaria had in 1970 under communism, 50 full fucking years later!
Pollution in communism was a normal thing, you can even now look at the industrial towns in all of the former Warsaw Pact and see what they did to nature!

Capitalism is not a doctrine; it's the natural economic thing, I have two rocks you have none , you need to trade me something for a rock, not take that from me just because I worked all day to have them!

(1) It creates wealth, but for who!!

Communism indeed creates more equality.
We were all dirt poor, like dirt poor; we didn't even have dirt!

(2) It destroys the plants for profits!!

Weird, capitalist countries have always produced more cars, tvs , computers, planes or anything than communist countries.
With what plants if they destroyed them all?

(3) It turns humans into products!!  

That's why you and your opinions are worth nothing?
Why in god's name is it always the third world who hasn't taken more than 100 steps from his mud hut teaching the world about global economics?
