Human nature fucks up everything.

So even though it's true that it would work if the right people ran it, trouble is, there are no right people... the same can be said for capitalism.

Capitalism and any other system can be subject to human corruption.

The difference between capitalism and any other system is that if you just sit back and do nothing then capitalism arises organically.

No government in world history ever had to impose free market capitalism on a population or any part of a population.

But you need FORCE to impose every other system. People with guns are required to impose those systems and sooner or later the people with the guns realize that since they control the system then they can profit from it.

Like that cocksucker Hugo Chavez. Champion of the People my ass. He died and when his daughter inherited his Swiss bank account she became a billionaire.

In dollars, not Bolivars.

Just like the Castro brothers did.

Hooray for socialism! Can't wait for someone to say it would work if the right people ran it.

Some people are already ahead of you.

xerxes xerxes:

Yeah. Maduro and his cronies’ Swiss bank accounts.

See ?

GreenTiger GreenTiger:

They will.

They already did.

Not really. Because the exchange is voluntary (i.e. you don't buy unless you want),
people who fuck up get weeded out of the system.
