"the US doesn't like"
OMG, like North Korea isn't bad, it's just the US that "doesn't like them".
Anyobe not knowing North Korea is the worst dictatorship on planet earth should get their brain tested.
I mean this is what OP talks about (or so I feel), people so out of touch you can't even have a normal discussion with them.
It's like talking about sexual abuse and someone saying that the person raped is now not "liking" the rapist, but a million times worse.
I'm a capitalist. The person you are responding to sounded very reasonable.
"the US doesn't like"
That's very true. The us does not like north Korea. That isn't saying north Korea is good. It's just saying there are motives at play to make north Korea look as bad as possible.
If I said Jeffrey Epstein was a cannibal, you can say "no he wasn't" without thinking he was a good person.
Do you work for a living? If so, then you aren't part of the capitalist class.
Funny side note I think the problem with both systems is lazy people not doing what they should.
I won't go over the example for how lazy people could effect socialism because I'm sure you've heard it a million times before.
I skip straight to capitalism.
People don't vote with their dollar like they should. Everyone hates Walmart, they still shop at Walmart. Everyone hates child slavery, they still buy chocolate. Women want real pockets in their clothing, they still buy clothing that does not have pockets.
I'm lazy too in that way. I don't shop at Walmart, and I don't really like chocolate.... But I hate how shitty airlines are... When I fly tho, I buy the cheapest ticket on the cheapest airline. Every single time.
That's the problem with capitalism. I'm lazy, we're all lazy.
