How is #capitalism, an economic system that has caused rampant homelessness, housing crises, "once in a lifetime" economic crises every few years, the spending of billions of dollars to bomb other people and impose the will of the American empire on the rest of the world while our own infrastructure falls apart and our people suffer, how is this "the best economic model since the beginning of time"? Can someone explain that to me?

@Radical_EgoCom Simple. Compare with classic failures of communism: millions of starving people.

@dragonsidedd
Yes, the "failures of communism", all committed by authoritarian socialist/state capitalist governments that never even achieved communism.

@Radical_EgoCom @dragonsidedd also see Cold War propaganda. In the now destroyed Soviet Union most people were fed and housed. It’s far too easy to go with the capitalist narrative. Not saying things were great or perfect. There is a reason SU and China made capitalist powers froth as much as they did.
