It’s OK to be Angry About Capitalism by Bernie Sanders

the ability of leftists to hate capitalism from listening to the people who have greatly benefited from capitalism speaks volumes about the idiocy of those leftists.

Major understatement. I think I will go back to reading Pow Wow Chow by Fauxantious.

Leftys do not hate capitalism. Where do you get such a stupid idea? We just want it regulated so it does not just serve the super-wealthy, We want it to do right by the country and treat workers and the planet with respect.
Teddy Roosevelt pointed out the damage that unregulated corporations could and would do. He busted up their monopolies. He installed the inheritance taxes so they would not gain incredible wealth and power over generations. Money=power. He told us about the super-wealthy manipulating the country for their financial advantage.
Corporations have won. They own a major political party and control its voters like children. They bait them into anger and hate against the rest of the population. Keep the people divided and the wealthy will go along with their plans . The super wealthy are not the problem. You guys who are suckered into supporting them are.
Trump does not give a shit about you. Yet you will overthrow the system you pretend to love for him. Don't talk about Trump and patriotism in the same sentence. They do not go together.

Wow, good stuff. Thanks for the comment. I hope anyone who disagree will debate you.
 
Sanders’ popularity and his immense value to the political ecosystem stems

So I am to just believe that Sanders is popular? Apparently, I am to believe that you can read everyone's minds, which is how you know Sanders is popular. I'll tell you what, I'll just assume that you are a Bernie supporter, albeit only one.

... the class war is over,
This is pretty stupid, I agree. There are no classes in the first place and there never was any class war.

that capitalism is as inevitable as the weather,
Economics is pretty inevitable.

and that markets don’t need morals,
Markets, stones, skateboards, valleys and other nouns that are not people, cannot have morals. You would be correct that they do not need morals.

You are very stupid. Stick to one troll name at a time, Intothenight.

This is great. I get to snipe you ... and you blame someone else.

So as long as I'm here, you are an idiot. You have no clue about economics. You are uneducated in general. You are too stupid to learn and you have the handicap of being unable to distinguish between different people ... which is currently working in my favor. Please carry on.
 
Sure they did...

The first corporation formed in the US were small banking ones that started in 1790 shortly after the Constitution was signed. The Constitution, and federal government, only could regulate certain aspects of a business such as patents and trademarks, interstate commerce, antitrust law, and bankruptcy. There was nothing in it about "public good," and corporations could and did all sorts of things in their best interests, not the public at large.

I know you don't think.

A corporation is like any business. If it does not serve it's customers, it will soon be out of business. A corporation MUST serve the public or they will not make money.
 
what is the purpose of anti-trust law if NOT public good?

It serves no purpose. It does not serve the public good either.

Monopolies are self destructive. It isn't long before another company comes along that does it better and/or cheaper, and winds up shooting the massive, slow moving monopoly in the knee.

Examples:
IBM was a monopoly until Control Data came along and did it better. Later, the personal computer damn near destroyed the company.

Microsoft was never a monopoly. There was always Apple, and now the open source community has moved to Linux. Microsoft has been driven out of the personal entertainment market, the phone market, the automotive market, most of the server market, and is currently losing the desktop market.

European chemical company AGFA had a monopoly on bromine production until DuPont beat them at their own game. The ONLY reason DuPont has a monopoly on refrigerants is because of government fascism. If R12 wasn't outlawed by the government, many other companies are ready to make it (and they do for some markets).

The Big Three automakers (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge) lost out to many other car companies making better cars.

Amazon invented the Cloud and had a monopoly on it until Microsoft built Azure. Even Google tried to get it into it (and failed rather badly).

Do you know why AWS is the best Cloud service out there? They invented it! People want to use it. The Cloud serves the public! They don't have a monopoly on it.

Sure, there are slimy corporations. That doesn't mean all corporations are slimy. A corporation isn't fascism, even when it's bribing the government. ONLY THE GOVERNMENT CAN IMPLEMENT FASCISM, or anything acting like a government (such as WEC).

NO corporation will last long if IT DOES NOT SATISFY IT'S CUSTOMERS. A corporation MUST serve the public or it goes out of business, just like any business.

Not capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system. It doesn't require regulation. You are describing socialism. Socialism is not capitalism.

You mean the ones that made steel cheaper than ever and more available than ever? You mean the ones that made cars cheaper and more affordable for everyone?
He busted up their monopolies.
Theft and fascism.
He installed the inheritance taxes
Theft and communism.
so they would not gain incredible wealth and power over generations.
Theft and communism. Also unconstitutional.
Money=power.
And you don't have either, whiner.
He told us about the super-wealthy manipulating the country for their financial advantage.
Nope. NONE of them would have succeeded without the public wanting to buy their product.
Corporations have won.
Won what? Do they get a cupie doll?
They own a major political party
Corporations don't own any political party.
and control its voters like children.
Corporations don't control voters.
They bait them into anger and hate against the rest of the population.
You are describing Democrats.
Keep the people divided and the wealthy will go along with their plans.
You are describing Democrats.
The super wealthy are not the problem.
Paradox. You just denied your own argument. You are being irrational.
Trump does not give a shit about you.
You are describing Biden.
Yet you will overthrow the system you pretend to love for him.
The coup was conducted by DEMOCRATS, dude.
Don't talk about Trump and patriotism in the same sentence. They do not go together.
They certainly do, and I will talk about them in the same sentence. Trump is a patriot. He upholds the Constitution of the United States. It is DEMOCRATS that want to discard and destroy it.

wrong, corporate cocksnacker.

All the benefits of free trade to the regular consumer are lost in monopolistic / cartel situations.

if you don't believe in breaking monopolies, you're a just a fascist elitist liar, shit-human.

You're delusional on your imagined perfection of corporations.
