Pure capitalism hasn’t been tried either there’s always too much government regulation that stifles the free hand of the market.

FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 2 days agoEvery single time socialism has been tried, capitalism, specifically America, has put its boot on its neck. I’m not saying socialism can’t turn to authoritarianism, but it has never even been given a fair chance at any point in history. Meanwhile the failings of capitalism are literally baked into the system, given enough time the wealth and power will always consolidate to the top.
Also capitalism has killed wayyyyyyy more people worldwide than socialism. The Black Book is Communism is confirmed horseshit. Capitalism always turns to authoritarianism in the long term, you can see it in America right now. Your own criticisms of socialism can be turned on capitalism tenfold.
There’s a reason Albert fucking Einstein, the posterboy for genius, was a socialist. Socialism can turn to evil, capitalism will always turn to evil.

Holy shit you just keep saying stupider and stupider shit. The free market was never free. It was always manipulated by those with large amounts of capital. If a market is being manipulated by the elite it can never be “free”. That’s a fairytale capitalists told you to make it seem like the system was fair.
You’re also taking a what is literally a conservative/libertarian position. Not even liberals believe in completely unregulated capitalism, yet you want me to believe you’re a liberal?

it’s uncanny how many people who are basically conservatives can get unlimited traction on lemmy by bashing tankies without anyone really examining what they are actually saying. this user is a prime example of that

Einstein isn’t the reason I’m a socialist lol. It wasn’t even a consideration when becoming one, just one of many examples of geniuses being socialist. You’re also downplaying his accomplishments, he revolutionized physics. Cousin fucking was socially acceptable in some places in the 1910’s. Our ancestors have probably fucked a cousin at some point too. Its definitely creepy but that doesn’t mean he didn’t change the way all scientists look at the observable universe. He knew what he was talking about.
Also with your edgy ass username you’re gunna get all holier that thou over creepy ass old world cousin fucking?
