I have two responses to your often used arguments:

  1. Capitalism and bad peolpe stole everything but are only now giving it back.

Firstly, bad things have happened in the world, but we do not live in those times anymore and so is not an argument against capitalism troday.

Secondly, Capitilism is not the only thing that “stole everything”. Socialism and Comunism stole a whole lot more, including hundreds of millions of peoples lives.

2. General moaning (Capitlism equals skeweed wealth distribution. Wealth needed outstrips the capacity of the planet. Capitalism is killing the planet.)

The inference is awalsy that capitalism is the thing that causes all problems, and silently, any opther system does not. This is plainly ludicrous.

Its very easy to state problems and how much you care about them. But there are never any solutions proposed, or the solutions that are proposed (such and the Green New Deal) will never work, but the ultimate solution is to give the governemnt more power.

I would also point out that China, arguably the most polluting country on hte planet, is not capitalistic.

As I said, Capitalism is the worst system ever invented by man. Except all the others.
