Capitalism (Pro) vs Socialism (Con)

The emphasis is on the currently there. The general political morale of far more happy and peaceful countries according to https://en.wikipedia.org... and https://en.wikipedia.org... leans slightly democratic socialist. They must be doing something right! Plus a lot of these countries have new officials and might be doing good for the economy (which is still bade regardless). Let"s talk about GDP. The GDP per capita (PPP) of Norway, often called a socialist nation, is much higher than the US. The same can be said of Ireland. If capitalism helps the whole society, then why is there massive income and wealth inequality for people who work long hours. These individuals put more effort in their jobs than those that were just born rich. Be careful with a free market- too free of one can take jobs away. You seem to think I want to send all capitalists to camps, but this is not the case. I think, for a democratic socialist society, these people are beneficial and crucial. Mixed opinions, after all, are what make it DEMOCRATIC socialism. Capitalism allows for massive inequality so that your vote does not matter, as the elites and establishment pick, not the people (Electoral College). Party leaders (Debbie Wasserman Schultz) can be biased in favor of the establishment candidate, and super PACs allow the 1% to contribute unfairly and disproportionately. Democratic socialism solves that problem by not letting the party leader be related to or clearly biased for a candidate. It lets your vote count, and removes proportional voting. It lets your contributions, not super PACs affect the presidential race outcome, whereas with capitalism it is predetermined. Collectivism ought to be preferred to individualism, as we can accomplish more together, as we will have and be on a more relatable basis with each other. Socialism is where we work together to solve the problems and can each contribute, but capitalism allows bias and corruption so a handful of people profit from pollution. The problems were sponsored by *capitalist* governments. Or maybe the UK thing is because Theresa May got elected and, oh yeah, Brexit happened. It is an issue as it allows people to buy the majority through ads and products. This means a few thousand people can control most of everything. The governments don"t steal as it goes toward things the people like- single payer healthcare, and more. This is why these countries are happier and more peaceful. Plus, 2 "socialist" countries have higher GDPs per capita than the US! So population does matter, 50% of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org...(PPP)_per_capita Disagreeing is not advocating for. I don"t support massive wealth redistribution, but I do not think it is outright STEALING. Also, http://www.dictionary.com... never mentions redistribution. There was a recession due to Bush right at the beginning of Obama, inhibiting his economic ability. But the issue was well handled and is fixed now! George Bush according to https://www.thebalance.com... added 5.849 trillion to the debt! He only added less than 1400 jobs! The reason Bernie did not create any jobs is because he was never President!!! Reagan had a 186% increase in debt, although he did add 16000 jobs. So, democratic socialism is quite a necessity.
