May Day ProtestsFS

Will there a time in the future where I won't lose hope for humanity every early May? It's sad that most (except for the illegals) of these losers have a vote because idiots like McGinnFS and SawantFS pander to these lowest common denominators promising more and more from taxpayer funds.

I dare a bunch of these illegal immigrant advocates to go to Mexico (better yet, Venezuela) and see how well they are received when they demand better for "undocumented workers". Maybe they could try Cuba too?

As for the anti-capitalists, all that the USA has is because of Capitalism. We have the highest living standards of any country in the world with at least a few hundred million in population. Do they suggest we copy Russia's economic policies? Or the Socialist "Revolution" of Venezuela? The sadness of Argentina?

"Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don't give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution." - Ben Shapiro

Capitalism is the only moral social system because it is the only system that respects the freedom of the producers to think and the right of the individual to set his own goals and pursue his own happiness.

    There are different forms of capitalism.

    I suggest you read Ben Shapiros quote again.

    Capitalism is more moral in theory, not in practice. It's only more moral if things are equal. But you fail to see that. Most likely because you haven't been playing with the deck stacked against you for your entire life.

    If two people are pursuing their own goals and one is more likely to achieve those goals because of the color of their skin or their gender, how is that moral?

    And I suggest your re write the bold part. You wrote "happiness" where it should say "wealth". But how do you worship money?

    I simply pulled that particular quote from a search and didn't feel the need to cross-check it to determine if it had been altered.

    Regardless, are you actually suggesting that Socialism, Fascism, Oligarchies (like Russia), Feudalism, Mercantilism, or any other form of system does not play stacks of decks against people? Or going so far to imply that those systems are so extra-ordinary that they do not discriminate against people based off of their gender or skin color?
