POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[IkeTheGeneric]

a rare moment where arizona politics actually does save the rest of the country from making a terrible decision. 16 million people are probably sleeping pretty easy tonight

I'm one of those people sleeping easy. I live another day.

[Karl Marx]

These social welfare systems will inevitably collapse anyway, the massive influx of people drawing money from the system is only accelerating the process. Eventually you run out of other people's money to spend, especially in the case of massive numbers of unemployed north African economic migrants suddenly putting additional strain on the taxpayer funds.

The social safety net is becoming a hammock for these people.

This is why simply reforming / modifying capitalism won't work. There's not enough resources to give rich people outrageous amounts of wealth while also guaranteeing prosperity for everyone else.

Because the people of times past have misused and abused the people creating the illusion of a false democracy, and this will only be their undoing as
a large amount of youth outside of the US absolutely despise democracy because they aren't seeing the results they vote for.

planned economies don't guarantee prosperity either. You're handicapped if you look at the USSR, Venezuela, Cuba, NK, etc as models of prosperity.

Why is it that marxism seems to foster corruption, censorship, repression, and poverty? Don't give me any of that "IT WASN'T REAL COMMUNISM" bullstuff and try to weasel out of it. Communism and socialism are just inherently stuffty and don't account for human tendency towards acting in self interest. Mismanagement in planned economies causes poverty, famine, and enables corruption.

For anyone still convinced that capitalist tendencies are biologically innate, or that people are only motivated by monetary incentives:

Grotesque inequality is not a natural part of being human
The Compassionate Instinct

Study on human altruism

Are bankers dishonest?

How Capitalism changes conscience

Motivation is Driven by Purpose - and not Monetary Incentives

How Culture and Experience Shape our Lives

Don't let clueless dolts like Ayn Rand dictate your philosophy.

Human nature isn't the reason that dictatorships like the USSR and NK happened. Dictatorships happened because they were already unstable countries. It becomes a lot more feasible when fascists/capitalists don't destabilize and destroy the country.

god bless john mccain and everyone else who voted no against this bill that would have caused many deaths from people becoming uninsured and losing medicaid

What? I mean that I don't know why the meme is getting really popular all the sudden. I'm not trying to politically dissect the joke of that image.

Cool meme

how is he not right
capitalism and communism both fail because of greed, but capitalism lasts longer and has the capability to further their control over the people

Such as in Russia under Putin?
He's been in power since 2000, letting Medvedev pretend to be president from 2008 to 2012.
