The Socialist Dream Crumbles in Venezuela

[The Comrade]

what's funny is that i don't think the world is in black and white, you just routinely defend capitalism in the face of criticism for absolutely no reason other than an obvious support for it.

so you can make these little posts about how you *literally* didn't say something and *literal* this and *literal* that but when i read years worth of your arguments spouting the same thing about ideologies XYZ being bad, and mixed ideologies ABC being bad, and then routinely giving us the "capitalism is here cause it's natural" and "most people suck, not all, but most" projection it's pretty obvious you support some form of capitalism. you can no true scotsman and say it's not real capitalism but it's close enough.

Right, because my advocating of social democracy in the present, a mixed economy, is totally one or the other. Your posts within this thread, Spider, are as uninformed as they are just lame.

Certainly someone can say "I reject both socialism and capitalism," but to be taken seriously they would have to suggest an alternative, otherwise there is no real rejection, simply an apathetic acquiesence.

That is not an argument, Spider, that is an empty assertion. If you want to argue that socialism isn't sustainable, never mind the real-world examples I have repeatedly cited to your silence, you must present an argument. "People suck" is not an argument. It's just another dumb and empty assertion.

If being called out for stupidity hurts your feelings, perhaps you shouldn't shriek about people being bipolar and so on. Glass house and what not.
