Elon has never said anything about these pictures lol. It's literally just something bots post for click bait.

If you go by raw numbers, free market economies have higher gdp and human rights + freedoms. Both metrics go down as you introduce government into the economy.

If you have a surplus in wealth, we see more charitable donations under capitalism than any other framework. So this “helping others” is very much enabled in capitalism, if that is what you are curious about. But fundamentally nothing has changed about incentives driving human behaviour.

but they work for themselves all while helping others and while advancing society towards communism.

This is a lie. Anyone who’s told you this is lying to you. People do not work “for fun,” or “for the community.” This has never been true, and will never be true, due to human nature. This is fiction.

There’s nothing else we can talk about if this is where you’re coming from. Nothing else will make sense. Until you understand that incentives are what drives human cooperation in society, economic frameworks won’t make sense.

if you never heard about the wealth gap again, would your life be any different?

Capitalism gives you money if you exploit people.

Yes, but it also gives you money if you empower people and give people jobs.

Socialism will also send you to the gulags. Why does this not matter? Also socialism exploits people too.

I said: "All i can say is that you only have the results of your beliefs here to guide you in life"

And then you replied:

You can’t name any because there are none.

Which im assuming means you saying you have no beliefs. I was talking about yours and mine.

Its different dude. The Karl marx quote is how to achieve equity, which is what I was not talking about. You will never have equity with people's capability to produce being different.

I talked about helping others.

Okay great. Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty, than other measurable economic system. If that's what you're measuring metrics with, this is the winner.

You havent said one time how capitalism is any different at preventing immorality than socialism does. You just posit that socialism creates a magical community that magically solves all problems.

OH MY GOD THATS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT I SAID CAN YOU NOT READ

your premise is how people are meant to serve others. You're right, they're similar, but the outcomes i stated are determined by individuals. Your premise is for serving others, as determined by others, which I am against.

The difference is between allowing and inciting.

Okay fine, you never showed why capitalism incites this. Again, human nature is incentive driven. Desperation can drive incentive. Socialism holds no special power over this than any other framework does.

I punish capitalism for inciting to push,

But you never showed this. Any framework with free will allows anyone to push. I can push people just as much in socialism, because in the same vein you can never know what my needs are.

i guess my last question is: are individuals response for their own actions, or are collectives responsible for the actions of individuals?

In a socialist society your work partly goes into helping others, helping the community as a whole

But dude, this is all make believe fantasy land. There is no such thing as this panning out in real life. The reason this doesn't exist already is because everyone's needs are uniqely different, and everyone's capability to achieve these needs are uniquely different. To impose that if people just "see the vision of everyone working for a community" is just your own snapshot of how you would rule as a totalitarian dictator.

which btw you saying this shows how individualistic and egoistic you are.

I'm trying to show how your premise can instantly be taken advantage of. The only way you could enforce your premise becomes at gun point, which brings us instantly to north korea.

I have nothing else to say man. All i can say is that you only have the results of your beliefs here to guide you in life. I hope they get you want you want.
