Free Market Capitalism (Pro) vs Statist Communism (Con)

MISQUOTATIONSAgain, my opponent misinterpreted my words, I said that we enforced a minimum wage because the goveronment thought that individuels cannot help but to exploit eachother. But to say that this is true is demonstrably false, Switzerland, for example, has no minimum wage and yet their average earnings are 6,300$ a month! {1} These are the highest wages in the world, so clearly individuels are capable of not exploiting others. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONSLike I sad before, the government is the largest pollutor in the world, the EPA even dumped toxic waste into a river! I would also like to inform my opponent that Barrack Obama and NOT some Republican is currently in charge of our nation, so no- he cannot just blame it on the conservatives. He also failed to address how Bernie Sanders authorised toxic waste to be dumped onto the Mexican border, which not only pollutes the environment but also violates a treaty we had with them. MORE FACT CHECKINGMy opponent states:"This quote implies that each person should have what they need to survive, however in a Capitalist Society, if government doesn't regulate prices, we have incidents of price-gouging, such as Martin Shkreli who raised the price of an AIDS drug from $13.50 per tablet to $750 per tablet."If the goveronment doesn't regulate prices there will be price gouging? In a Free Market there is competition. So Martin can raise the price of his drug to 750$ since it is his drug, but if we assume that this is happening in a Free Market then a competitor would simply sell that same drug at let's say 15$ and run Martin out of buisness unless he lowers his prices below that of his competitors. This does not require regulation, the Free market will automatically lower prices over a given period of time provided you have a free market. So when Martin was price gouging, a correct route to take would be to abolish goveronment protection over his patent. This would imply less goveronment interference rather than more, so the lassiez faire aspect is maintained and even strengthened. As a result, some greedy capitalist begins to produce that same drug at a lower cost and does exactly what I said- runs Martin out of buisness unless he lowers his prices. So as you can see, Martins price gouging was actualy enabled by goveronment interference, Milton Friedman said:"I know of only 2 monopolies which mantained their power without interference by the goveronment [to protect them.]"ALIENATION FROM THE PRODUCT OF LABORMy opponent states:"Allowing the abolition of Globalism, work would shift to America, I presume my opponent will accept this conclusion. Under a Free Market System, a Laptop Builder in America might make $7 and hour and once he finished the Laptop, he wouldn't have the funds necessary to purchase the object he created, therefore the worker is still alienated from the fruits of his labor."Not so, if all these jobs were sent over to the US this would increase the demand for labor and therefor inflate wages, since we have an unemployment rate of 30%, I estimate that wages will go up according to the demand of labor, which will be 3/7 the current demand, or a minimum ~43% increase in wages. This is because the less unemployed there are the less expendable workers are, thus this rate should go up by about 50% what is is, so in all wages should increase by 64.5% what they are now, which assuming the minimum wage is 7.25$ (the Federal Minimum wage, most states went above this), wages in minimum wage states should increase to 11.91$, but to 16.45$ in places like California, and 24.68$ in New York. {1}. http://www.tradingeconomics.com...
