Capitalism is great. I don't like the state interfering though.

No communism please. I value my property too much.

I like how the infographic is trying to point out what's wrong with capitalism while all of the examples they give are the result of corporatism.

Not a single point on that "info"graphic has anything to do with capitalism.

Capitalism defined:

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

"rather than by the state", well, we all know just about every industry is heavily regulated by the state, so no, we don't have pure capitalism here. We have oligarchy/plutocracy.

The Racist Criminal "Justice System

Black people commit more crimes than white people so the system is racist?

NEWSPAPER OF THE PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION AT LIBERATIONNEWS.ORG

Oh so that picture was made by literal retards. Well that explains a lot.

Took this from the about page of the website that made this "infographic"

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a working-class party of leaders and activists from many different struggles, founded to promote the movement for revolutionary change.

Capitalism—the system in which all wealth and power is held by a tiny group of billionaires and their state—is the source of the main problems confronting humanity today: imperialist war, poverty, exploitation, layoffs, unemployment, racism, sexism, lesbian/gay/bi/trans oppression, environmental destruction, mass imprisonment, unionbusting and more.

We are fighting for socialism, a system where the wealth of society belongs to those who produce it—the workers—and is used in a planned and sustainable way for the benefit of all. In place of greed, domination and exploitation, we stand for solidarity, friendship and cooperation between all peoples.

Fuck off. Centrally planned economies don't work. How much more proof do they need?

Everytime Matt makes a political thread, I feel like I have been instantly teleported to reddit.com/r/politics.

I just got this message: "you have been banned from posting to /r/socialism"

Definitions are like axioms. If there is disagreement, debate is meaningless.

It's like watching a match between a tennis player and racquetball player where both are playing their preferred games. It's ridiculous.
