They're playing all the hits, folks:
I legitimately wonder what anti-capitalists think has caused the average lifetime expectancy to double in the last 100 years, what has caused the extreme poverty to be cut in half in the last 25 years, what has caused global food supply to drastically increase while costing less, and also how they have the luxury of whining on Reddit on their fancy iPhone.
Do you have a link for China reducing poverty? I always see that but never read up on it?
Gotta love the ’posting from an iphone’ bit, anybody who has been paying attention to consumer electronics knows that Apple is at least 2 generations behind spec-wise on companies like huawei. They're at the level of Chinese companies like verycool. Lol
Didn't someone post a video here about how the iphone was, in fact, not a capitalist creation? I can't remember much more but it talked about the different components being developed by research labs and university teams and how Jobs basically stole all that shit to make the iphone...ring any bells for anyone here?
People getting absolutely bodied in the replies regarding whether China is or isn't socialist or capitalist. Some wonderful exposition of the contradictions there.
"we hate communist China"
"capitalism is awesome because it pulled 1 billion+ people out of poverty"
"oh, most of that number is from China? Well, China is capitalist"
"What do you mean China is socialist?"
"Market economies are capitalist!"
"China is not a good model to follow"
"So they're not capitalist then?"
"Uhhhh..."
Socialism is when the government tells you what you have to buy and everyone has all the same things
Capitism, known from Karl Marx's main work Das Kapit.
Most likely derived from the It*lian translation of Das Capisce
The guy's posting history is a hoot. He thinks Biden and Harris are communists, considers OAN not conservative enough and hates communists because they killed Jews during the October revolution.
I'm sure Biden's foreign policy objectives will be gentle too...
Wait...there’s been a Rosa emoji this whole time...AND I NEVER KNEW!?!
Yeah, the technology that comes from capitalism is kind of the fucking problem, seeing as how it’s made from child slave labor in the global South, but everyone has to use it just to get a fucking job in the global North yet can barely afford a house or college education or health care.
