    And capitalism and the pollution it creates with wanton abandon kills people every day. Does capitalism get a pass for that murder?

    Sure it does. In your imagination and at Vox and Media Matters, anyway.

    I sincerely hope I live long enough for those of you who want socialism to get what you want.

    If would be worth it to see the looks on your faces.

    We haven't had capitalism since we've had central control of the cost of money

    When we didn't have central control of money, we had capitalists doing things like machine gunning striking unions. Is that the past you'd like to return too?

    Also, you should research the boom/bust cycle and how often we had depressions prior to the Fed.

    How are we defining "socialism"? You can define it however you want, but I will expect you to hold to that definition.

    Machine gunning people is illegal, no?


    and how isolated and short they were, and how the culprits went bankrupt, as compared to decades long global crises that forced us to give trillion$ to the very banks that caused them

    Machine gunning people was legal then. They simply bribed the government to make striking illegal, then all the miners were illegally occupying mine company property and they company was "within its rights" to defend its property however it wanted.

    So its okay for poor people to suffer under bank caused depressions so long as they are "isolated and short"?

    Oh am I.

    Does the government of China have total communist control over all of it's citizens, or no?

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/02/tech/china-tech-communist-party/index.html

    Jack Ma, the richest man in China, is a communist.

    Didn't you know that under Communism the wealth disparity is far larger than it is under capitalism?

    China is "communist" in the same way the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a "democratic republic".

    Every shareholder in Foxconn is a member of the Communist Party? Every member of its board are?

    You have a source for that?
