Where does he get this garbage? Capitalism works whether the market is
expanding or contracting. If the supply of something goes down, or
disappears, then prices go up, leading to less use. There is also enormous
financial incentive to come up with a better way of finding more of whatever
is in short supply, or if that is not possible, coming up with a substitute.
Socialism is what drives the need for a growing market, because it tends to
create entitlements which can only be sustained by population and/or
productivity growth. Socialism also minimizes the incentive for
productivity growth, so you can see where that leaves you.
Get real stupid! It makes no difference if you have state control, or corporate
control. The result is just the same. Millions of nameless drones who are just a
cog in the machinery, while the fat cats at the top drain off all the resources
for themselves, killing all initiative and creating stagnation. You need a
system of lots of small businesses and self-employed people who can think for
themselves and create. What is happening now is no different to communism in any
way, yet somehow all I hear is corporate drones like you telling me that I am a
socialist.
"I don't want no commies in my car and I don't want no right wing X-tian
corporate drones either".
Hey, and how many here have already admitted being government wage slaves?
