Thank you for writing that. It is an understandable position you hold looking from the outside inward on the American political bubble and seeing divisiveness and outright anger towards each other. You aren’t wrong. America is a largely a dysfunctional family, but a family nonetheless. However, within that family are a group of people that want to see the whole thing burn. Why? Because they believe their way is right and opposition to basic truths is or will somehow magically be corrected if they only get their way. It won’t. History knows this all too well and getting what you wished for is never the outcome you ever envisioned.

For example, in 1949 the Allies didn’t necessarily install your respective governments or ideological structures, they simply said, choose what you want to be as the Soviet Union started to carve up and take swaths of eastern Europe. No one wanted to start another war against each other when they just finished saving the world. So they shrugged their shoulders and said, “until next time.” European societies largely chose to live in some semi democratic socialist ideological states, but it hasn’t fared well for them. Contrary to popular belief that northern european countries permissive natures and happiness quotients, they suffer from deep ideological, economic, and sociological issues. High Taxation, indoctrination that this high taxation leads to free government services. High personal debt, some of the highest in all of Europe. Institutional racism. Disparities in their public education system. Poor healthcare infrastructures. High incidents of mental health issues.

You’re right though. No system is perfect by any means, but Capitalism has allowed whole swaths of people the opportunity, if they so choose to take it, to make some of themselves better than they were before and prosper from it. America is replete with examples of this. I’ve never heard a single human being in my life ever say, “Gosh, I wish I was poor.” Capitalism doesn’t pick winners or losers. It’s simply a system of the exchanges of goods, services, and ideas that people can tap into as a large resource pool that others are engaged in. Think of it as a natural network of currency information with multiple simultaneous dynamic nodes of exchange happening globally and universally.

Capitalism is a great equalizer. Those who engage in it do so organically and holistically. They use it as a means to further there goals. Some use it for the process others for the outcomes, but it is available to them whether you have a government or not. Any form of leftism relies on one thing, government to be the arbitor of your fate. It dictates to you what you become, when you become it and how far it will let you get there. Government becomes your ever watching mother making sure you don’t step out of line. It neither cares for your rights because it gave them to you and it can take them away.

America’s constitution coupled with capitalism is a door wide open to possibilities that says here is the framework for your personal happiness to pursue that which will give you what you want if you want to. People like Umair want to hobble and shackle you to a his level of control. He’s a limited shallow thinking individual who thinks that freedom and liberty are just monikers for an ideology that leaves peoples human natures to create great swaths of evil. He never sees the good in anything, otherwise why would he write about the various types of demise of Capitalism? He’s one of those that wants to see it all burn for something even worse.
