I disagree about the leader complex and socialism, my man. That applies more to Communism (fidel, mao, stalin, lenin, Kim jong), which contrary to popular belief is a different concept than socialism.Trump vs ILLARY. Capitalism vs Socialism/ Communism
Not trying to get political, but Trump is no Capitalist (I prefer the term robber baron to describe him), and Hillary most definitely is no Socialist (as a socialist hack myself, I would know). Believe me.
Love ya, DMoney, but that's not socialism you described. That's more like the current brand of economic policy we have that's masquerading as Capitalism. You know Steve Jobs, but I highly doubt you know the guys who came up with the iPhone or its patents, feel me?
I get what you're saying, though.
No, D got it pretty right on. The fact that we live under fascism doesn't change what capitalism or socialism are. Inherent is every socialist regime is the "leader" complex of the few knowing better and getting the credit. It has always been an elitist school of thought. Boiled down to bare bones: Socialists sit around and think; Capitalist go out a get things done to make money(certainly one could argue more than they fair share). Mark was smartest guy in the room type. Manny is the lets go beat the crap out of people and take our share, if you do come you don't get. Classic Think/Action contrast. Framer/Hunter types also. I bet you believe you should think things though and see what grows. Others would rather shoot something and eat.
Believe it or not, especially during the 30s to the late 50s, the US was one of the most socialist countries IN THE WORLD. We taxed at a high rate, gave huge subsidies to corporations that favored one over another, and there were far less millionaires and billionaires than today.
Dorito was a plutocrat. A protected individual whose performance didn't matter, which also applied to his philosophy in recruiting and Defense. He and Golden were never at fault bc they had no one to hold them accountable for years l. They acted and carried themselves as elites. That's not socoalism.
