How is it a failed system? I'd say people cannot afford insulin is proof enough that Capitalism is a failed system.

Just go ask Argentina[0], collapsing months after IMF was praising the "good" work Argentina was doing and how a good Capitalist country it has become[1].

This pandemic just made most people feel what the lives of billions is like all year long under Capitalism. And your dismissive comment is just shameful and disgusting.

>>How is it a failed system?

ohh I dont know, the millions upon millions that have died in starvation due to socialism over the many decades that it has been tried

but those where not "real socialism" right....

Pointing to one good that some people can not afford (the reason is largely due to government control not capitalism BTW) does not in any way "prove capitalism failed"

it is true that sometimes with capitalism you will get breadlines, but with socialism sometimes you get bread


It's really something witnessing /r/the_donald spill over here.


It is really something to have people confuse libertarianism with Donald Trump
