    Monarchy = political system.

    Capitalism = economic system.

    Germany was a Capitalist monarchy during WW1.

    Fascism controls,and regulates businesses, but doesn't get rid of them like Communism.

    That makes more sense than what the U.S.A has, where corporations gouge, for cheap labor by outsourcing jobs, and importing illegal immigrants.

    Yet, Capitalists foolishly think the free market will sort it's self out.

    No way, Capitalism belongs in the garbage bin, just like Communism does.

    That's why Capitalism is disgusting.

    Capitalism has no true answers, just keep allowing outsourced jobs, and illegal jobs to cut our throats, while the media, and Hollywood infect our society with Liberalism.

    Capitalism = do nothings.

    If Capitalism is so great, how come under Franco Spain's economy grew enormously, and now under Capitalism it flounders?

    So, you're saying it's okay to get rid of American jobs, just to lower prices?

    You wonder why I don't support Capitalism?

    Fascism is like a mix of Capitalism, and Communism.

    we lost jobs not thanks to capitalism but thanks to liberal policies
    1) highest liberl corporate taxes in world
    2) huge liberal budget deficits
    3) huge unions

    and that is not to mention liberal war on family schools religion that renders many Americans unfit for jobs.

    The profit motive resulted in those deaths. Since it is unprofitable to serve certain portions of a population, those portions are neglected, and so starved under the capitalist model.

    The rate of starvation pre capitalism was higher, but that doesn't say much because the starvation rate was higher prior to the implementation of other modern models.

    Every once in a while, I'll list a running total of what I'm gathering for deaths by capitalism. You may take your pick of the litter for the best example as the thread continues.

    Yes, a very good entry for this thread. In the process of extracting resources to sell for profit on the world market, Leopold committed some of the most vicious forms of brutality.

    To everyone: The Congo Free State was Leopold's personal property and he extracted those resources to sell for profit on the world market.

    Franco's Spanish economy grew when the Western powers stopped their economic war upon Spain.

    But, it's largely because Franco invested in Spanish cars, infrastructure, and in renovating tourism.

    Corporate taxes are inefficient, even so greedy Capitalists would still outsource jobs to where it's cheaper, even if we abolished corporate taxes.

    That's because greedy Capitalist pigs don't want to pay Americans more, talk about traitors to this nation.

    Unions are great, they helped to increase the living standards in the West.

    To blame unions is ridiculous, considering as union membership went down significantly in the U.S.A, is when jobs started being outsourced full force.

    obviously they don't all elect to do that which is why we have 95% employed here. Eliminate the highest taxes in the world, liberal budget deficits, and liberal unions and they would have far less incentive than now to move out. Do you understand???

    of course that's little more than a lie. In fact, customers buy the cheapest price so if a competitor moves to China you have to too if you want to survive. If you want to blame somebody you must blame greedy customers. 1+1=2. Do you understand now?

    yes unions drove 20 million good jobs offshore!! Make them illegal again and we'd have a new middle class here@

    We should eliminate corporate taxes, but the rich should be taxed more.

    Nonsense, we need those so called "Liberal budgets"

    Welfare is actually good for the economy, as it creates more consumers, not to mention without welfare we'd see people living like the third World within the U.S.A.

    Education makes more productive citizens.

    Without healthcare spending, we'd see citizens dying from treatable illnesses.

    We need infrastructure to help keeping America running smoothly.

    The real solution is to confiscate the businesses from the greedy Capitalist pigs, who outsource jobs, or hire illegal immigrants, to the burden of the nation.

    No, greedy Capitalist pigs drove good jobs offshore.

    Most Western countries have more union membership, and yet less jobs being outsourced than the U.S.A.

    The problem is there's just too many cut throat greedy Capitalist pigs in the U.S.A, who don't care about their own nation.
