This Is How Capitalism Works In It’s Beginning. If Greed & Corruption Can Be Held In Check, This Is The Way 🇦🇷
🌎 WWG1WGAWW 🌍
Javier Mileis has vastly improved his Country’s economic Stance with quick economic moves for the win! As long as he and his Admin can hold Greed and Corruption in check, his country should flourish. As I hope for us going forward after Trump wins here in the USA, This Is The Way.

Capitalism would work way better if we didn't have subsidies. Really shitty agricultural products are subsidized so it makes organics too expensive. Then there's the big corporation bail outs, the stealing of our wealth through inflation and taxation. Then there are prohibitions imposed by lawmakers pushed through by lobby groups. 'm thinking we've never experienced true capitalism in the US. At least no one in the past 100 years.
If cronyism was harshly dealt with as well.
Cronyism is the worst aspect of capitalism, especially when the federal government itself is involved.
Absolutely. Then there's using the war excuse to turn on money printers to the max. We could really go on and on. We're not even close to capitalism.
Also not having our currency tied to anything of value.
And have Congress print the money, like the Constitution says. The Fed is unconstitutional, a continuing crime that continually makes things worse.
Exactly! Crony “capitalism” is not capitalism at all. It’s just socialism (communism) with a mask on.
So basically capitalism would work better if it wasn’t socialized.
I don't see that many comments about socialism here, but rather mostly about how large corporations benefit unfairly at the expense of the little people.
Really, I don’t like those terms much anymore. Too Hegelian. All masculine and no feminine, or vice versa.
If things are purely in either, there’s no room for the Justice we seek, because the enemy has followed the letter of those lesser laws, and their endpoints each loop back around into each other.
There does need to be some sort of balance struck into a narrow road that treads between all these systems, while being none of them. Let’s see what we come up with.
Whatever it is, we need a counterbalance to be able to act against funding criminals under duress. We’ve tried this several times, but whether through intent or poor design, it hasn’t worked.
The ethanol industry is what I consider to be the worst crony capitalism example in our country. What really makes me mad is that the so-called "conservative" Republicans from the big ethanol states continue to support it. The problem with politicians is that they aren't driven by principle but by personal wealth and campaign financing.
Amen. Ethanol in our fuel is 100% a crock of shit.
I read YEARS ago (maybe decades?) that it takes more energy to make a gallon of ethanol than it produces. So use of ethanol actually INCREASES the amount of "green house gases" associated with driving cars! It's a classic case of crooked industry people getting Congress to pass laws so they can get even richer! I can't believe this is never talked about by anyone on either side of the "green energy" issue.
Because green energy is run by watermelons.
Green on the outside, red on the inside.
I totally agree. We simply don't have capitalism. We have fake capitalism and it rightfully gets blamed for how shitty it is. It's cronyism, socialism, oligarchy with a capitalism facade.
Try being a farmer with suppressed commodity prices. Farmer are the reason you aren’t starving. Organics have always been expensive with not much benefit.
I would argue that subsidies encourage monoculture because it's difficult to obtain subsidies for something not easily categorized in a government document. Corn and soy definitely wouldn't be as popular if they weren't subsidized. They are rather low grade nutrition. The small, multi-faceted farm makes the most sense, but they currently can't compete against the subsidies. And the subsidized farms can't continue without government help. Probably some stuff I'm missing but it's like saying big banks couldn't survive without the bailouts. You'll probably find this outsider explanation annoying as I'm not a farmer but I do have family members that grown gmo corn and only do it because they are subsidized.
Greed doesn't matter in a free market economy.
Trying to overcharge your customers? They'll just go buy from your competitors.
Trying to pay your employees less than they're worth? They'll go work for your competitors.
Trying to raise rent above market value? Your tenants will move to your competitors houses for rent.
Corruption destroys all economies
This is using the force of government to give yourself and/or your friends an unfair advantage. This is jobs required to get a license to do work such as cutting hair. This is onerous banking regulations that the big banks can survive, but the little guys can't.
Free Market Economy, not Capitalism.
"Capitalism" has been mainstreamed by Marx. The focus is on the material, the 'money', the capital.
A Free Market Economy is one where the primary defining focus is the freedom between individuals and groups etc, to engage in mutually beneficial economic exchange free of undue government or state interference.
New Wine into New Wineskins. "Capitalism" as a term needs to disappear, just as Marxism and Communism need to disappear.
But granted, this is a linguistics and cultural perspective. The key point is, freedom to engage.
signed, big fan of Friedrich Hayek
Well stated, and I approve this message.
Signed: the advocate of the anti-sysyem to Schwabism.
P.s.this is a literal Schwab quote: antisystem to our system: it is called libertarianism = free market economy + total individual freedom.
Meaning: their system is enslavement and central planning.
I wonder where the idea of an evil elite willing to kill us comes from.
It's how it works without all the unconstitutional infiltration
Sound money would make most of the corruption impossible.
E.g. In gold standard, if government overspends, gold flows out of the country. People are forced to hold the government responsible when there is no ”third way” meaning money printing.
Greed and corruption are two of the reasons that no system of government can ever be perfect, but our (U.S.) system of government provides the best way to prevent the eventual tyrannical rule that other forms of government devolve to. The leftists seem to ignore human nature in their pursuit of socialism. It is human nature that will ALWAYS lead to the problems we are seeing in our country.
My liberal son only sees the greed and corruption...says we have way too many options available to us...he says he hates capitalism all the time....prefers a European model...socialism I suppose.
But yet he probably benefits from Capitalism. And it kept a roof over his head.
Kim Halmoni makes the case for divesting ourselves of the expression Capitalism to frame what kind of economic system we promote. For many, 'Capitalism' is the very thing that Marx defined and is the embodiment of corrupt corporatism that we see riding rampant over the world today (where fewer and fewer corporations control more and more of our economic activity because of monopolizing and concentrating the capital).
If one approaches the question from a slightly different perspective, aka not Marx defined but one which introduces different key anchors, such as the free-market concept, then this potentially makes it a lot easier for those who are fixated on the corruption in the non-Marxist system to consider a different perspective.
Part of the problem of the 20th century was that the West was stuck in a mode of "anti-communism" instead of rising to a mode of "victory over communism". If you are only in opposition to something, you cannot see what lies beyond it.
Javier Milei is an extreme Zionist.
Nayib Bukele’s family roots in Palestine.
A Jewess is running for president of Mexico.
Don’t be fooled into thinking there’s some type of populist revolution going on south of the border. Central and South America have always had leftist leanings.

You can say the same about socialism too and they do.
Greed and corruption are in the world. The LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
LOVE of money. Corruption and greed are here until Christ return.
All these systems are satans design as he said :
"all the Kingdoms of the world are delivered unto me and are mine to give to whosomever I will."
Getting our own minds aligned with God's Word is the only way to separate yourself from satans influences in the senses realm.
The bible calls it renewed mind. I recommend the church epistles written to the church of grace we now live in. The church of the one body (though divided by denominations), the church of the Christ who is the head. Old testament for our learning, the great mystery of the one body, Christ in you the hope of glory. That's our church if you are born again one. The church that came into being on the day of pentecoste.
No man now present can save a single soul except he preach Christ.
