I would not characterize America or capitalism as a zero sum game.
You’ve repeatedly pedaled the argument that profits are stealing from labor. As well as argued that growth isn’t a good thing.
I would say the unlimited growth that capitalism demands is extremely harmful, yes.
I think there are individual parts of capitalism that can be considered zero sum however I think characterizing a system that almost everyone has gained from, so far at least, as zero sum would be inaccurate.
Yeah, that whole highest standard of living in human existence, highest life expectancy in human history, along with a declining rate of poverty and increasing supplies of food and medical care for the entire globe thing has been extremely harmful.
In case anyone is wondering why I don’t take you guys seriously, two people in this thread have attacked me for saying “capitalism sucks” from a post where I wrote capitalism has benefited everyone.
I didn't attack you for saying capitalism sucks. I "attacked" you for claiming that Capitalism is "extremely harmful." But given your previous comments on Capitalism why do object when people assume you think Capitalism sucks? Do you not recall any of the bullshit that's left your own mouth? Why should anyone take you seriously?
Capitalism has been the best economic system ever devised by humans. While far from perfect it has provided more material wealth and a better quality of life for more people than any other economic system ever devised by man and it's not even close. Capitalism is what has allowed someone as softheaded as yourself the luxury of being able to upchuck the incredible nonsense and fact free gibberish you spout here everyday.
Hell you claimed that Capitalism was responsible for more deaths than any other economic system. You claimed that Capitalism stole the labor of workers and then tried today to claim that you don't believe Capitalism is a zero sum game. The surplus wealth generated by Capitalism is what has allowed someone as poorly educated and foolish as yourself to survive.

Or he doesn’t want to have to.
Because it’s hard.
That about covers it, guys.
