Niemand hat den "Kapitalismus" erfunden. Kapitalismus ist das, was freie Menschen von Natur aus tun - Waren und Dienstleistungen zu ihrem eigenen Vorteil tauschen.

@Domf0gx What’s up g

Hello

Milton Friedman: “I am not a conservative. I’ve never been a conservative. Hayek was not a conservative.” “We are liberals in the true meaning of that term: concerned with freedom. We are not liberals in the current distorted sense—those liberal with other people’s money.”

@PathOfMen_ Doesn’t matter how perfect your life is, it ALWAYS has ups and downs - so when you’re down, don’t despair, you’ll get up again. NEVER LOSE HOPE, this is the worst thing you can do, because it prolongs the time spent at the bottom.

To all men who survived rock bottom, what’s one piece of advice would you give a man who feels like giving up right now

@PeterMcCormack It doesn’t help you warn them, leftists make the same mistakes all throughout history the best you can do with them is build a wall like East Berlin - let them eat their own instead of ours.

We warned you about this commie

@theserfstv So set humanity back decades, all for $93?

People are saying if Elon Musk was arrested for crimes against humanity and all his assets seized and redistributed every person on earth would only get $93. Why don't we just try it to see if we like it and if so we can move onto the next one?

@joakial_ Start your own east Berlin then, let’s see if it goes better this time, you can work for the stasi’s misinformation department

I don’t think democracy can survive if public opinion is constantly manipulated by algorithms designed to maximize engagement rather than truth.

We should discuss whether giving women the vote is actually a good idea.

I just want to live long enough to see this happen

You are alive. You have a home. You have a bed. You have food. Be grateful.

@SydneyLWatson Gets even crazier when you realise it’s actually big government socialism that’s the problem and not capitalism

Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is. So I will weigh in. I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours. My bill? $13,500 dollars. Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount. For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is. But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is. And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers. On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500. We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20. Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings. Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this. And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie. People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

🎯 Post of the day!

Those things are long paid for and the maintenance cost is lower than the taxes being collected for said maintenance. So you’re a socialist and want to give people free stuff, except roads, plumbing, and fire departments bar the maintenance cost? How does that make sense? The issue is that as a socialist, taxes are baked into your ideology and you’ll defend it even if it doesn’t make sense.

Is there a fucking road in front of your house? Does your house have plumbing that leaves your property? Do you want the fire department to show up if it’s on fire? These fucking idiots man

@Independent_ie Pipe dream, socialist government would never

Where socialism is hypothetical, it stays pure and uncompromising. Where socialism is responsible for outcomes, it becomes pragmatic and inconsistent. Not because the ideas changed, but because reality enforced a correction the rhetoric never had to face.

Scarcity is a universal constant, socialism is either pretending it doesn’t exist or having the false belief that it can be fixed. Capitalism seeks not to disregard scarcity, but to minimise its effects.

It’s a spectrum, complete free market on one side, communism on the other, with socialism being anything beyond the 50% level. It’s not binary. For example, more than 50% of France’s GDP now is comprised of govt spending - as such France is more socialist than free market, but still ways away from being communist. That said, the extent to which China has drifted to the free market side is the extent to which they’ve succeeded. So both of you are correct.

@ValorAnubis @Chucks_BTC @yannispappas Do you know what a state driven economy means? It means it’s socialist…politically they are communist. Sorry to burst your bubble

Are there capitalist steamers in communist countries?

@LeeHurstComic They then blame capitalism and said it was never real socialism.

Question for all socialists. You get your wish and tax the rich. In fact you take every penny from every British billionaire (£185 billion). Your UK NHS budget is £206 billion. You are £21 billion short. Next year you have no billionaires to steal from. What’s your next move?

People blame billionaires for what politicians did People blame capitalism for what central banking did People blame free markets for what bailouts did People blame greed for what regulation did People blame profit for what redistribution did
