Anyone Else Had Enough of American Capitalism?

Socialist party and socialist economic system are not the same thing.

That notwithstanding, Venezuela has devolved into a de facto dictatorship.

These morons don't have the slightest clue concerning the difference between an economic system and a government/political system.

You're dead on about Venezuela and it's political system.

It's the same way they blame Communism/Socialism (the economic systems) for the problems in/with Russia/USSR instead of it's political system - a dictatorship.

LOL!  The Drumpfites don't want to talk about economic systems any more.

You really should read and pay attention:

Do you want a socialist country like Denmark, Norway or some others that have a basically free market economy and strong social programs with high taxes or a "true" socialist country where the government controllers most if not all of the economy?

Anyway, here's a simple explanation.

Capitalism is anti-social; a predatory economic system based on benefiting the one and or the elite.  Socialism and Communism are social economic systems based on benefiting society or the many.

Now if you're setting up a society, do you want to promote an economic system that pits everyone against each other, or an economic system that promotes everyone in that society generally for the best outcome for everyone?

You should also learn what a 'free market' economy is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market

In economics, a free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and by consumers. In a free market the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, or by other authority.

Ok, you can't or won't answer a simple question (name a socialist country) I have more important things to do than read your duplicate posts.

Actually, you are whining because you haven't paid the slightest attention to my posts - something I pointed out in my first response to you.

Here's how it unfolded and shows you haven't paid a lick of attention to what I posted on the subject:

I agree with you, and it must be strictly controlled.

Of course, I see socialism or communism as probably better economic systems for society.

Why?

Personally, I don't think you give a whit, especially as the answers should be patently obvious.

Anyway, people can probably guess your answer.

From there you merely rehashed what had been asked and answered.

If, as you say. Socialism is so great, why do people from Socialist countries want to come here?

Oh really? What countries are the immigrants coming from and what are they trying to escape then? Also if some coming here are wanting to get away from their country why are they trying to convert us to what they are trying to escape from?

You do realize that your questions directly contradict one another, right?

Ok, why are people coming here if our country is so bad? If they're coming here for a better life why do they fight against assimilating?

[Exterminator]

They are fleeing violence, some of which we are responsible for.

If they're coming here for a better life why do they fight against assimilating?

Fight against assimilating how, exactly?  By eating burritos?

Exactly how are we responsible for Venezuela and the Islam countries? Muslims want to enforce Sharia law here, Mexicans spit on and burn our flag and so does Venezuela. Muslims also expect us to be tolerant of Islam and they don't tolerate Christianity. Immigrants need to do it the right way at ports of entry and respect our laws and customs not expect us to change to suit them.
