Capitalism is Better than Socialism/Communism

'This system was supposed to include free enterprise . Even by putting a trade mark on something that deal was shot. What does political have to do with that system as far as I got the companies basically built themselves .' It's just the definition i was given i agree you could say Capitalism is just an economic system like Socialism 'with other countries that are out of the citizens reach and not economical how can you trade with someone that has different priced land, different rules , even the frequently stated " underpaid workers' something we would not allow in our own country but then they allow companies to outsource to a cheaper location' First of all you are talking about a country trading with a country? in a truely free market there is no need for government , and when it comes to the so called exploitation of foreign workers you have to look at the larger picture , many Asian countries are communist and it is hard for small businesses to grow big it is a completly different enviroment, let me also add something you see most of these companies are corporations ,there is much more competition in a free market and corporations wouldn't exist (Corporations are the result of a contract with a government , basically corporations are given extra rights and limited liablity from the government). ' I just the freedom to gain and build as high as you chose but it was never intended to be outsourced where we would be competing against the rules that were set to govern us and we get chinese television set, also the way China conducts itself it is void of Capitalism what would make the same statute we have our system structured on work ok under a differently cratiked system .' I don't know what my opponent means by competing against the rules , what rules , what rules were supposed to govern us? ' This is why capitalism don't work. In socialism the prize is a government that provides for all the basics , then all the citizens can work on the next page , standardized state of the art healthcare in capitalism you got the HeaLTHCARE HAVING TWO OF THE SAME BRANCHES competing against one another instead of one of them serving the needs of the people' My opponent didn't exactly explain why having more than one agencies competing and why a centralized agency is better , -private healthcare is more efficient because than businesses compete to get customers and how do they do that? by offering a better service for a better price . Why can't the private system serve the needs of the people? '. So you got a bunch of companies doing the same thing and where is their incentive to fulfill our needs? ' The enivitace is in making the most money and how do they do that? It is by offering the best product. Speaking of enicitive what makes you think a socialist country has in interest to provide the best product? nothing there is no competitiors they will always make money and it is less of an interest to the central agency to provide the best product because they don't need to . 'where in Socialism whenever an achievement is made its an achievement not just an initiative ' My Opponent didn't explain why it would be an achievement for them 'with all these 'dictators' with other names like monarchy their is only one method they would settle for and it was Capitalism a govern industry and a industry governed but in America the people where in charge that is another reason because capitalism is not run by the government' As far as i understand my opponent claims that dictatorships have an interest in Capitalism this is not true we have historical evidence to suggest that most dictators preferred interfering in economics and heavily restricting businesses. Capitalism cannot be runned by the government . ' they are existing governments inside our government and now secretary controlled by foreign investors the government tried to make peace by trading goods which were almost like gifts but If socialism would of prevailed with the majority it has backing it they would of had some real gifts' Once again the role of the government in a capitalistic world is rather very limited than my opponent goes on talking about the majority which i see as a common characteristic among socialists and alike remember It is not like the majority is always right i belive in individualism , democracy is three wolfs and a sheep deciding whats for dinner . ' so example China we consider communism but if it's a one man show then wheat is the difference between dictatorship ,' I personally don't consider it Communist and many others wouldn't aswell (this doesn't mean i consider it capitalist) and what do you mean by its a one man show than whats the difference?. ' that it is a theory and communism and socialism differ in the way Soc is communism controlled by the people and Com is soc controlled by the Gov ' wrong Most generally, socialism refers to state ownership of common property, or state ownership of the means of production. A purely socialist state would be one in which the state owns and operates the means of production . Now Communism Most generally communism refers to community ownership of property with the end goal being complete social equality via economic equality in simpler words Socialism is just an economic system in which the government controlls the means of production communism is far more it is indeed similar in the basics but you can see big differences when you dig deeper. 'Com can be either capital or soc' Tell me how can Communism be anywhear near Capitalism 'Communism is a classless, moneyless and stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production, '-Wikipedia . 'capitalism can not function under democracy' It Depends what you mean by Democracy , Direct Democracy is an utiopian dream and like i said earlier Democracy is Three Wolfs and a Sheep deciding whats for dinner , Democracy lets the 51% discriminate the 49% Capitalism is based on Individualism. ' it does not better its situation it takes more than it needs in greed to make sure it stays alive , always running from the floor falling out so it takes from everyone it can and keeps building higher running from a thing that will never catch it. ' Capitalists don't reject the idea that it is based on greed , humans are naturally greedy and imperfect this is one of the big reasons why Socialism fails . How does Capitalism take from anyone? Capitalism is based on volunatarily agreements. 'socialism doe's not run from anything or take anything it does not need and it will never crash cause it has a solid foundation and not a hastily built deception of a dream.' Um actually Socialism is the one that is based on the idea that humans are naturally perfect . ' If Socialism had existed as long as this Capitalism we all would be rich definitely no one in need of anything ,' My Opponent is making assumptions that he doesn't back up with any sources or evidence. ' so who is the lazy man the guy who sets off to accomplish a new task never that constructs itself as it builds cause it communicates and builds to the goal together. Or is the lazy man the one who works in a job that had not foundation but money ' Do you really think workers will be so motivated by acheiving new tasks ? that is assuming that humans are naturally perfect again , Money is good motivation and Money opens doors to many different things . ' so it's the government that makes us lazy but it is capitalism that holds us back and always has lower classes but socialism takes and levels everything so that people can come out on their own' Of course there are lower classes in Capitalism this is due to many reasons like education , criminal record , job experience etc Socialism is based on forced equality in which no one can make a better living for themselves in the name of 'the greater good'. 'they are the teachers of the new class of students they are what you learn when you leave school when everyone is being taught the basics and the same when does the researched discoveries ever spill back into the assembly line of learning' What i don't like about Public School is exactly the fact that it doesn't prepare you for what you are gone face when your older , It doesn't teach you how to manage money it doesn't teach you how to manage a household etc. 'See a flaw in capitalism where socialism is constantly learning as it is evolving at the same time capitalism just stands still' this is an argument with no evidence behind it . 'Social;ism is all kind of one of the same and since the technology is shared you don't have mass the researchers the initiative all secretly working on the same thing ' People are not working on the same things but constantly comming up with new ideas , in Socialism there is no inicitive to create new technology because you have no reward. 'So with the army to protect them the battle is abandoned what better way then to have someone not make war with you by selling them what they need ' I doubt in the existance of big government armies in a Capitalist society. Than my Opponent keeps talking about the roles of corporations that wouldnt exist in a free market and about the government . ' that is what you get in the end unorganised government that throws their shoulders up every time they are asked for an answer ' once again the role of government in a capitalist society is to ensure safety over the society as the whole and observe what's goin on , I don't have any space to address any more issues if i think any other issue that i havent adressed in this is worth it i will do it in Round 3.
