One of the biggest issues is what do you consider progress and what are we progressing towards? Just like Obama's change. Change is not necessarily a good thing. Venezuela had tons of change and now the majority of the country is starving while a few elite are living the high life. That is what the left's vision is for economic equality. Capitalism raises all ships though it raises some more than others. Socialism finds "equality" by sinking all ships to the same level except the few chosen at the top. Yup - there are entrenched elites in most every Socialist and Communist country. The difference is that they are there solely due to their proximity to power, family relations, etc. Capitalism is not perfect, and not perfect at eradicating that - but is much more of a meritocracy than any other system. Even looking at something as stupid as Forbes Top100 - changes radically year to year and certainly decade to decade. Fuck that socialism shit There are many ways to say it but, "Don't sacrifice the good to chase the perfect". There is no perfect system that is one size fits all but a free capitalist country gives everyone a chance to succeed. Cronyism is the biggest issue in our system and that is basically socialism because it allows the government to attempt to choose the winners instead of the market. |
