The Free Marke is the supperior economic system

First thing I would like to point out is that you cite no evidence for this research. I actually googled it and found the statistics you quoted to have been misrepresented. It's irrelevant, though, as you provide no sources. 1. Correlation is not causation. It has also been found that countries with high temperatures have a higher amount of pirates...You also cite no sources. But let's discard that. Let's just assume that's true. Yes, the free market does satisfy economic freedoms and may increase a person's wealth. This is an argument that laissez-faire libertarians like you seem to love to make. Karl Marx dealt with this sort of argument. The GDP per capita may seem high from a global standpoint, but within the country itself? Take a look at Norway. The GDP and HDI are astoundingly high and yet, prices are over the roof insanely high. There is such a thing as inflation. The problem in a global free market economy is: if everyone was rich, no one would be rich, as the definition of rich is:'having wealth or great possessions; abundantly supplied with resources, means, or funds; wealthy'[1]. Abundant means:'present in great quantity; more than adequate; oversufficient'[2]. Abundant means more than adequate, meaning that being rich means having more than others. HDI is irrelevant as it bases itself off GDP per capita. 2. False. Karl Marx never said anything of this sort. Marx only described a process wherein commodities' exchange value and use value stopped basing itself on human labour, resulting in human labour losing worth, leading to revolution. [3] What Marx predicted came true. As the competitive market increases, subsidy rates go along, as do commodity exchange values, resulting eventually in the loss of the worth of labour. Wages are irrelevant. Currencies change, the world changes, the dialectic is constant. 3. The free market by definition is:'an economic system in which prices and wages are determined by unrestricted competition between businesses, without government regulation or fear of monopolies.'[4] The free market means no regulation, meaning that any environment interference is allowed. A study conducted recently, called the Happy Planet index, showed that socialist countries have a lower index of pollution, and free market countries have an extremely high rate of pollution. [5] 4. Completely irrelevant. What do you mean by 'Democratic countries'? The USA has a two party system...North Korea has a multi party system... You cite absolutely no evidence here. It's irrelevant if 'the people want it' The people 'wanted' Adolf Hitler in power. The people 'wanted' Mussolini in power...the point is, the people don't know what's good for them. To quote Vladimir Lenin: 'It is true that liberty is precious, so precious it must be carefully rationed' 'No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses' Your arguments appear very weak and did not even demand much of my time. This is not an ad hominem attack, you seem like a genuinely intelligent person, but I request that you include sources and present stronger arguments. Thank you, comrade.
