Why yes, little Gregory, capitalism IS the best!
I don't know what I'm gonna do with them yet but I feel like these have potential
A+ Capitalism when a factory explodes or something
It's perfect
Bonus points for when you save money by not doing the things that would have prevented the explosion and blame it on those pointing out how doing that would cause said explosion.
Tripple points if also causes location to be uninhabitable
The capitalism stamp of approval
Another great thing about capitalism is it never has to produce propaganda to justify its own existence. That's only something communism and socialism under constant assault from capitalist regimes need to do
I wish us commies made as much propaganda as capitalists do. The far right rant about communist propaganda, but I can't ever find any!
I'm sorry, haven't you watched any movie or TV show or read a book or been on the internet recently? It's communist propaganda, all of it
I suppose, to conservatives, reading probably is a "commie thing" to do...
"You just call everything communism, and hate communism without knowing what it is, because the Red Scare never ended." "Those kids would be very upset if they could read." "Readin's for commies!"
To fascists, liberalism is communism
And to liberals, communism is fascism. https://youtube.com/shorts/4PBHELzsnZg
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It's so emblematic, the idea that the chivalrous titans of industry would tend to the country as shepherds
i think the fact that you can say this without irony is a testament to the abject power of the pro-capitalist propaganda that permeates all "western" media
Pretty sure this is dripping with irony
poor phrasing on my part, more like the fact that it could be said unironically by people...
Quietly notice that A+ Capitalism doesn't actually state that people have rights.
Who needs rights when you have personal freedoms?? That way you can impose your rights on other, equally free but less right people!
rights are the same as freedoms duh
Every single consideration in each column is about the effect on business owners, not about the effect on the average person.
Capitalism:
Free market for business owners
Rewards business owner success
Private property for business owners
Individual freedom for business owners
Socialism:
Controlled market for business owners
Punishes successful business owners(bullshit tbh)
Rewards laziness(this is just the standard claim that anyone on benefits is lazy and doesn't need them)
Government controls businesses
High taxes on business owners
Communism:
No private property for business owners
Business owners have no rights
Promotes corruption when the business owners try to find another way to get rich through abusing their positions
Business owners can not be successful
It's not exactly lying all that much. But it's doing a quite typical thing that supporters of capitalism do where the "freedom" they talk about isn't about the average person, but about the freedom of their class. They do not consider anyone outside their class to be "people", they are units of labour to be exploited.
If you added onto this chart all the things that each system does for the average person? Things would look very different.
More or less all pro-capitalist propaganda only speaks about the effects on the bourgeoisie, and when they speak of "people" they are always leaving out the average person from their definition of people.
Fidel stole my grandmothers slaves! Communism is so oppressive!
Well said!
It's not lying that much, but it sure as hell relies on a lot of preconceived biases for and against each point that insinuates benefits without expressly backing any of them up with facts.
Is this one of those Prager U rags?
Honestly it seems worse than that (saw it on left book, no idea the source)
I see you got your hands on my childhood Government class textbook. Wait, no, mine had more Jesus
That does sum up a child's view of economics quite perfectly
Dear Gregory, if capitalism promotes individual freedom, why can't white South Africans benefit from this freedom instead of being genocided in real time?
We're just accepting free markets as objectively good then
everybody likes free stuff!
Someday I might be rich, and people like me better watch their step!
I want the freedom to dump my garbage in rivers, but fuck you if you poison my water!
im so glad to have the exact same opportunities as the child of a billionaire.
