Socialism vs Capitalism - An xfrodobagginsx Compilation Thread
So, you really think that a genuine follower of a religion would be the one who doesn't believe what the leader says and instead makes up in his own mind what they want to believe? Or do you believe that the genuine follower is the one who actually takes their leader at His word?

Look no further than "Acts" to see real socialism and it's in the Bible.

What I see in Acts is Socialism and a great example that it fails every time it's tried. First of all, they were never commanded or forced to give, they did it voluntarily, unlike today's socialism. Secondly, that group ended up poor and had to live off donations from the Saints later on. They only did what they did because they thought Christ was coming sooner than He did. The Pilgrims tried socialism in the first year in America too. 1/2 of them died of starvation. The next year they tried Capitalism and they had an over abundance of food. Thanksgiving celebrates their over abundance of food. Thank God for Capitalism.

Because I already know that they ARE. I've done my research. You won't address it because you know that they ARE bankrupt. That's why many of them need bail outs. Just like Socialist California needed a bailout because they are broke. It's a repeated pattern of poverty. Since the Country started as a Capitalist nation, there is an infrastructure that helps it for a time, but in the end, it fails.

So, because you can't refute any of the information, you have to resort to claiming that everything I believe is based on one video? I'll take that as an admission that you cannot refute anything in the video. Point made. Socialism fails everywhere it's tried. Capitalism is the best economic system.

My God, what a rant- and what a load of rubbish, I only recognise one country he's mentioned as being bankrupt and that's Greece who, for most of the time since the last war have had a right wing or military government.
Shall we fact check what he's saying?
National liquidity is generally measured by the ratio of gross debt to GDP so, looking up the latest figures published by the IMF, sure enough Greece is second highest at 158% - highest is Japan at 237% and no one accuses them of being socialist being about as capitalist as they come.
Who else is up there? OK, we have Italy, Portugal and Ireland at around 120% but Cuba (32%), Venezuela (36%) and Argentina (44%) are all towards the bottom of the list and even France (90%) and Spain (97%) are in a better position than the USA (106%).
So, consider your information to be refuted

Just an observation, but actually, gummints SHOULD be bankrupt. They should not be showing a profit.
They should collect enough taxes each year to take care of business, pay the bills, and the salaries of the government employees, and end up with just enough left to get through the next tax collection.
Socialism and Capitalism are about how the economic system works for the people, not the government.
Surely you took some courses in economics and government, somewhere during you vast experiences in life.

I disagree! If any government is taxing properly there should be overages for emergencies, feeding the poor, housing the homeless and also investing money in a vehicle for a good rate of return. Once the investments begin to pay for the needed services then taxes can be reduced.

Yes and unbridled capitalism helps the rich get richer and leaves leaves us with horrendous numbers of those homeless and those living in poverty. Unbridled capitalism is the curse of America. That is not justicee. that is criminal. Reagan go rid of bank controls and subsequently greed took over and you had the collapse of 2008. What bloody stupidity. Then Greenspan says he doesn't understand what happened I wonder what part of the word "greed" he didn't understand.

The Rich get richer AND the Poor get richer, the Middle class gets richer. Under Socialsim, the rich get poor, the middle class gets poor and the poor get poorer. The USSR is a great example of the end result of Socialism in it's purest form, Communism. No, homelessness and poverty goes DOWN. The biggest winner under Capitalism is the poor. Look at the poorest area in the US, they are the Big cities and they are run by S O C I A L I S T S for the last 50 years. Reagan was one of the greatest Presidents in American History. Income for poor Blacks and whites went way up, but they went up more for Blacks than any other group. What do you suppose happened under Obama?

Socialism vs Capitalism - An xfrodobagginsx Compilation Thread
I find it incredibly hypocritical how someone who usually so vehemently claims to be a Christian can also claim to be so vehemently in favour of a Capitalist system. "Blessed are the Poor" is a phrase that jumps to mind. Capitalism is a system designed for the minority rich to profit from the suffering majority. Socialism even gets its name from what works best for Society. The UKs Jewel in the Crown is the NHS - created FOR the People, BY the people, by a Socialist Government. The Capitalistic Tory Government are unashamedly trying to sell it off & privatise it. The Socialist ideal is to provide a University education for all, which has long term benefits for ALL society. The Capitalist society wants to discourage the poorer people from getting to University by imposing massive debts that they will be paying off for the rest of their lives, meaning that only the wealthiest are those who really stand any chance of getting a chance of any decent education. The Socialist Government set up the Welfare State, where the elderly could be assured of the State caring for them in their old age. The Capitalist Tory Government makes them sell their homes in order to fund what they have already paid for their entire lives in the way of taxes. The Socialist ideal is to have equality for all - Equal pay, Equal rights, etc., as opposed to discrimination based on Gender, Race, Religion, Age, Disabilities, etc. The Capitalist Government seeks to have the worker have no rights whatsoever, so that they can be treated as the cheapest possible commodity, to be discarded & replaced at a whim.
Under a Socialist Government we had the lowest rates of Poverty, the lowest rates of Homelessness, the best levels of NHS treatment. Now we have record levels of Poverty & Homelessness (including families with children), ambulances queueing at A&E because of waiting times. Children bedded on chairs because of no beds. Record usage of Food Banks.
Oh, yes - Capitalism really works. How anyone who claims to be a Christian AND support Capitalism is sickening. If Jesus ever had existed, his teachings were always blatantly Socialist - tend for the sick, give to the poor, love thy neighbour, do unto others, etc.
YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE !!!

LoL China is nothing without the United States. They need us as a trading partner and if they lost the US their economy would free fall. There is a massive trade imbalance in China's favor with the US that Trump is going to fix. They are beginning to adopt Capitalistic policies into their economic system, which is resulting in wealth. Under their Socialism, they have been extremely poor for 100 years.

There is a massive trade imbalance in China's favor with the US that Trump is going to fix. They are beginning to adopt Capitalistic policies into their economic system, which is resulting in wealth. Under their Socialism, they have been extremely poor for 100 years.

What a pity they haven't been a socialist country for a hundred years. Come to that it was only in 1971 that the US opened diplimatic relations with china and the late 1970's that the US decided the self inposed ban on trade with china was actually causing them harm since china is one of the biggest world markets that they had no access to and the eu was wiping tne floor with them in terms of trade volume. China surpassed the US as the latrgest trading nation in the world in 2013.
You do know that 100 years ago america wasn't a democracy as we would know it either?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o ... c_of_China
Today, China's main export markets, in order of importance, are the European Union (20.4%), United States (17.7%), Hong Kong (13.4%), and Japan (8.1%). China's main import markets, in order of importance, are Japan (13.3%), European Union (11.7%), South Korea (10.9%), Taiwan (9.1%), and the United States (7.2%).
I suggest you check the figures against those supplied by your own government if you remain in any doubt.

Free Healthcare? You don't see it? So I take it you haven't heard the stories of making the lame walk, healing lepers, making the blind see, or the parable of the Good Samaritan? Under a Capitalist system these actions would be billed heavily.
The original taxation was the Tithe, where 1/10th of income was made to be paid to the Church.
The Wealthy Priests & the Money Lenders were the Capitalists. These are ones which you appear to hold in such high regard as your role models.
Wrong. That's not why He was angry. He was angry because they turned the Synagogue into a place of business. Free healthcare is not free. Taxpayers pay for it. Also, Obamacare has caused insurance premiums in the US to skyrocket and the quality is going down already. Before you could get an MRI, Specialist in a couple days, now it takes like a month. The 10% isn't paid to the Church is was paid to the Synagogue, actually under grace it's "As the Lord hath prospered you". It may be sort of a tax under the law, but under Grace it is V O L U N T A R Y, like it should be. Capitalism is the greatest economic system ever devised by man.

I have to laugh when you decry free healthcare being paid for by the taxpayers. Who do you think is fronting the bill for the millions of indigent people whose only doctor is the Emergency room? Either you're OK with paying for them through higher health insurance premiums, or your for free government healthcare (which actually works out to be cheaper and more spread out), either way, you, xfrodo, are paying for the poor. Very socialist of you!

I have lots of sources, but my favorite is Bob Dutko on Tune In Radio. 103.5 FM Monday-Friday 12-4 pm Eastern Standard Time . Listen to him and learn the real truth that you won't hear from the Liberal Media. He presents both sides and tells you what the Liberals conveniently leave out.

On Average, Obama added 909 Billion Dollars to the US Deficit. Higher than any other President in History. Wages also went DOWN under Obama Trump's first year in office so far is at about 600 Billion, but it's gonna go lower as Capitalism continue to be implemented back into the system. Watch wages go up!

What a selective memory! Did you forget that he had to bail out the banks and auto industries thanks to your guy, Bush? Although the cost of that was given as 700 billion, which would make Obamas actual loss 200 billion, far below Trump. The true cost of the bailout was 14 trillion and still counting!
But you don't want to recognize that, do you? So much for capitalism...

Don't you mean "unemployment and poverty" as soon as the next crash happens? Socialist countries like Norway and Sweden don't have to worry about depressions and stock market crashes.

You do realise that some obscuree american local radio channel is not really impressive as a reliable source? Fox news os bad enough but at least there is russia today and al jazeera to cross reference.
Just out of curiosity what do you think liberal values are? You live in a liberal democracy othgerwise you would not have freedom of speech religion etc etc. I can never get at what people find so distressing abiout liberalism.

All the US has to do is stop giving Billions to European and other Countries and start giving it to our own people. Screw the UN, that's just their way of staying relevant. Who do you think foots the bill for the UN? Hint it's the US, the richest Country on Earth because of Capitalism:
