Im a little confused. Is America actually capitalist, or is it crony capitalist? Would TRUE capitalism have any problems? On the surface, it makes sense: make good product, get money. Someone makes better product, you need to improve yours or you go out of business. The issue is when we get monopolies and regulations that then restrict actual good products from being able to exist. But thats not a thing in true capitalism (so they say)

Is the best thing a mix of socialism and capitalism? I dont think we could abolish government, as someone has to lead. Certainly government needs to have actual checks and balances in place.

    Personally i hate that narrative because the ONLY people who would listen to such advice are the very people you need more of, not less. Educated, morally steadfast in the best sense and willing to make a sacrifice on behalf of everyone.

    The people voting against their own interests, perpetuating ignorance and hate, love having kids.

      Right. Its a self perpetuating cycle. But I also dont agree in bringing life into the world that isnt needed. There’s way too many humans already. Just my opinion. Once every single child is adopted, then things could change .

      The good news is future people will be so dumb they wont have any self reflection to realize theyre living in idiocracy !
