    I asked you what would be different under your preferred alternative to capitalism and you’ve responded with policy from other capitalist nations. Perhaps the ideas you have presented are not solutions to capitalisms failings but instead just good ideas that can coexist within a capitalist society. I’m really not sure I understand your point but feel free to clarify if you’d like to continue the discussion.

      Actually professor I don’t much care to continue. I asked if all the cards are on the table (because I know they’re not) and you responding with “yes…?” so this isn’t going to go anywhere. Especially since I don’t have a favorite -ism to provide you with so you can tell me how it would never work!

      The ideas I’ve presented force cooperation in opposition to capitalist market forces. They coexist in the way my white blood cells coexist with the flu.

      By the way, the Panama Papers aren’t available to the public, and they’re culturally relevant because they were secret for so long, and represent an opportunity that isn’t on the table for the rest of us. Better examples are key when upholding the status quo 👌

        I apologize if I offended you or otherwise indicated hostility with my “yes…?”. I felt my position was clear and unchallenged by your reply. I’d also point out that you made assumptions about my opinions prior, which while it didn’t really bother me, could certainly change the temperament of discussion.

        I do think it’s important to have a clear point in a debate though and I don’t see that you have presented one. From what I gather, you value cooperation in society and disagree with pure capitalism. For what it’s worth, I actually agree with both of those points and feel the same. I’ll respect your wish to leave it here and wish you the best of luck.

      It’s almost like capitalism just means that people exchange money for goods and goods for money and everything else is up to people to decide.

        Chiming in to a conversation with a weak point, just to have no one respond to you.

        No wonder you haven’t made so many comments today. This poor troll is starving because he’s having a hard time getting people to take the bait. Anyway, see you tomorrow buddy. I hope for your sake you do better next time

            It must kill you that I have a laugh about you to the people you argue with here. Hey man, no one is making you respond with all these little love letters to me

                Proud of that word? It’s cute how you keep using it like it means something.

                Anyway, keep validating me by responding. Every single time you do, it’s like a little chirp proving that you can’t help yourself.

                I hope you’re having as much fun as I am.

                  Ghoulphrenia is a condition that you suffer from, it’s normal for a ghoulphrenia victim to not be aware of it.

                    You must know all about that, considering narcissists go through the same thing.

                    Anyway, I don’t tend to take medical advice from self-professed assholes
