Gonna address each point :
You’re a member of a gambling site and say money is the root of all evil lol.
In the most part that’s irrelevant.
Money makes the world go round.
It motivates people which leads to so many spin offs in so many positive ways – better life for themselves and their families. Taxes, which build modern hospitals, schools, houses. It spurs on progress in science, medicine and technology.
It also has the opposite effect – While some things can have more positives, some things can have more negatives. Just like gambling. While you win big, I lose heavily. While you can now go and spend spend spend and invest, I can now go begging and possibly starve. When one plantation of bananas gets a good price, they sell less stock but might make a lot of money. Another plantation gives in to a low price, words very hard, get’s little for it and suffers. Taxes are mostly pilfered. For every £1 that goes toward a tax funded NHS hospital, a huge chunk goes into someones profitable back pocket, with golden handshakes and corruption. Most schools have no been privatised into businesses. Science and technology are held back by capitalism more than they are spurred forward. It’s mostly a lottery. Medicine is more about profit than healing sick people.
The vast majority of countries have better living standards than ever before. Just look at the improvements for vast numbers of people in China and India.
The same as the mobile phone industry has deliberately held back technology so they can sell it as slowly as possible. Vast improvements ? No. Not in the slightest. The growth of encouragement to do good in the world is a wonderful thing, assisted by things like social media and the hearts of men, so to speak. “vast improvements” would be laughable but I don’t want to come across as disrespectful to you for saying it and to the suffering that continues on a huge scale.
Africa has been left behind because its run by massively corrupt, incompetent idiots who couldn’t run a booze up in a brewery.Worse still, the public votes for them over and over again.
Oh dear. I sense you are blaming the african leaders here. Have you ever heard of “Judge 400 years” ? Economic CEOs in Africa have very little control over the wealth of Africa. Again, laughable if not sickening.
Have you looked at the infant death rate of our planet ? Do you know 6-7 people around the globe live around or below their relative poverty line ? I could wish capitalism worked, but it doesn’t. It doesn’t on a grand scale of “are you serious ?”
Would you like a list of the failures of capitalism that have happened and continue to happen and WILL NOT stop ?
The vast array of monetary crime and suffering, is somewhat untold but take all words like dire, devastating, disgusting from the thesaurus and you still haven’t got enough to describe how bad it truly is.
Capitalism will end. That’s not an opinion.
Thanks for your reply. I respect what you say even if I don’t agree with most of it.
Just a quickie. Re state of Africa. Nigeria should be one of the richest dozen countries in the world. Instead, it’s a basket case with literally trillions of dollars gone into you know where. Zimbabwe was the “bread basket of Africa” until Mgabbe got his hands on it and turned it into a corrupt, bankrupt dump in the blink of an eye. South Africa is now going the same way with a now junk status rated economy run by the massively corrupt, incompetent, racist ANC. Again,, the black Africans keep voting for a government they know is corrupt and ruining their country. It is why I no longer care about what happens there.
22I find it amazing that in the next few months we could have Trump and Boris running their respective countries!!!
Wonder what odds the bookies would have given for that 5 years ago.
