But the key word is "believe" in your statement. I have lived half my life in a socialist country and people were not better off, but worse off. Are you interested in fact or living in a dream? Specifically the gov't owned co.s polluted rivers and exploited people like you have not yet seen here in the US. Please answer question 2. You still have not said anything more than you believe nationalized co.s are better than privately held ones.

if those particular industries in those particular places had been nationalized, i believe the people had to have been at least a little better. However, perhaps i worded that wrong, i meant publicized, belonging to the people. and perhaps it isn't Capitalism that's wrong, but aspects of the system that governs the world that need to be changed, which Paul i don't think opposes. (Although i do believe that Paul would have been a lot better for the world as president.)

Let's discuss this. Nationalization means something is owned by the gov't, not by the people necessarily. Would you agree? 2. Why is gov't ownership better than private? 3. Please answer my original Q: You stated capitalism kills people. I asked why. You kinda touched on it, but not really. Can you answer the question?

I don't understand why anyone would say the capitalist system is ruined if we haven't really had pure capitalism.

You see, industries overseas belong to private interests. Were the nationalized, the people would be far better off. Furthermore, it exploits people. "They talk about the failure of capitalism, but where is the success of capitalist in Haiti, Latin America, Asia and Africa?"-Fidel Castro.

I don't understand how capitalism kills people. Would you tell me?

They're not socialists gotdamnit! They're bad, and evil, but they sure as hell are not socialists.

The fact that the number of people it kills every year is how many it took Stalin to his whole life?

why?
