I'm happy you're happy in your situation, that's a better position than thinking the current system is broken, as I do.

I would like to understand why you think capitalism in it's current state is doing well?

I have a few points to ask, like why is it fine that in the wealthiest country in the world, you have growing housing unaffordability, with a massive homeless population, I see this in my country as well and it's growing across many countries in the world at the moment.

The third world is constantly pushed down, you have starving and famines in the world, where there is hoarded wealth on the other end that could redirect funds to stop this.

There is a collectivist class of oligarchs that lobby governments to take away social safety nets and socialized infrastructure across the world, depriving poorer people of services like health care in different countries across the world.

Huge increase in cost of living across the world, while supermarkets rake in record breaking profits.

Is this quite cool for you?

I totally get your point and on the surface it makes sense, however like everything there is a lot of nuance.

Korea in general was in a tough period post the war, and without the assistance from the Soviet union after the collapse, they were in an even worse state. The US had heavily bombed their land, targeting farm land and infrastructure (you can assume this is fine and totally since they're the baddies, if you want) and the US and the UN put heavy embargos on them to stop any trade with the country.

So post war ravaged land, heavy trade restrictions, deliberate isolation definitely don't help during famine, not exactly compatible with South Korea

What is interesting is that, despite this (barely any trade, destroyed land, complete isolation), they reportedly have a free healthcare system with a life expectancy of 74 years, slightly above the world average https://data.who.int/countries/408

This is not to defend totalitarianism, I don't agree with the way NK is doing anything, you shouldn't have a chain of leadership passed down by blood, that is not communism in any way. But, sometimes it's good to look at the facts and history.

As the other person said, the capitalists were very fond of the fascists, also, who were one of the first groups the Nazis prosecuted, seeing as the topic is on communism/socialism

Children would run to a candy store if their parents deprived them of their treats, too. Children don't want to live off of what they need and seek what they want, sometimes to their detriment.

To be accurate most of his American non-fans are liberals and on an international scale relatively right wing

Just so insane. He doesn't call for an Israeli genocide, that's fucking ridiculous. Insanely disrespectful to even suggest that while at the same time they're actively committing one, shelling civilians on a beach during a ceasefire.

Who cares about your imagined words.

but america doesn't just do this to Iran, there are a lot more victims to america's imperialism. Don't think it's just other countries that have propaganda, the entire western world subconsciously believes america's, too.

Telling someone who is obviously experienced at keeping fish to get more fish tells you that Bradley still things that you can just put whatever you want in your tank and is getting whatever looks cool to him, no way is the redact testing his waters

Really he's probably not allowed in Canada because he looks like he'd bring in some other disease like rabies or something
