I must apologize for forgetting to cite my sources, my mistake. Since my opponent made no act to rebut my main point, my defenses will take the of defenses to my rebuttals. First of all sir, I love how you say I have an impassionate response but you barely deviate from what you said in the previous round. First of all, China is not a special case, I only mentioned it because it was more recent. In the Industrial revolution, there was things such as child labor, people were poor as the people back in China, no minimum wage, it is a good example in history that proves Marxism's main point, that the rich will always screw over the poor to make more money. My opponent's second argument is that, with hard work and determination, you can achieve your goals in life! I my opponent's 80 years of age but I think he should have learned by now, life isn't a cheesy feel-good movie. This brings me back to my argument above, that the employer will always take advantage of the employed to advance their wealth. My opponent also makes the claim that since Switzerland is capitalistic and it is the happiest nation in the world, it outrules the 9 nations behind it that are socialist. I'll let you decide on that one. My opponent makes the case that socialist countries are more in debt then more capitalist countries. This is simply not true, Switzerland is in debt at the moment right now 33.8% GDP/debt, I will post a link to the debt at the bottom, the U.S is also a capitalistic country as well! Guess what? Our debt is 108% the GDP, that is super high. Compared to Sweden, which is only %40. I may be looking it in the wrong way too, as the people are indebted to the government, they're not, there is a difference between given and borrowed money my sir. My opponent also makes the point that we pay a lot more then $1000, I was wrong, I thought it was the federal government, it is not, it is state government, and I see that some pay more then living wages for the unemployed, although only 8 states do this, I believe that is a dumb decision on their part, but it doesn't account for the other 48 states that have it under living wage. The next argument is that all you need in life is family (although even at $15 an hour, you still cannot support a family) some housing (if you're fine with having a studio apartment as a house, go right ahead, you also need a psychologist by the way) My opponent quotes Lysander Spooner, I don't know if I am reading this right, because I see an argument stating that we should let business owners pay workers very low wages, which in effect, does not allow them to get an education to progress in life, does not let him get healthcare to preserve his life, and does not give him time to complain about his life. Next to someone that is, actually talking about the tyranny of the majority. Your last argument is that i'm a fascist, I am not a fascist, I am a Marxist, Marxist's ideologies support the working class, the ruling class is the class in control, that is why we americans established the constitution and, supreme court, the ruling class is whoever is in charge. Also I like how you keep referring me to enslaving rich, wealthy employers to pay their workers living wages. Slavery, is much different my good sir. 1.http://www.eiu.edu...
