Do you know what capitalism is? It is the private ownership of the means of production. It doesn't mean you have to pay for every single facet of life.

What is the opposite of a capitalist? A minimalist? I like those people, wish I was a minimalist. Might be boring, but I bet it's a pretty stress-free lifestyle.

No shit the current 'capitalism' isn't really pure capitalism. Thanks to the twisted thing it has become, the younger generation is going to go full on Marxist.

Capitalism is actually a very difficult order to maintain, since it lives between overregulation and underregulation of economic activity:
Under-regulation leads to first movers and successes gaining monopoly power, forming cartels, trusts, and oligarchies (US Gilded Age).
Moderate regulation maintains maximum competition, achieves greatest wealth and technological progress.
Over-regulation results in cronyism, with political elites choosing winners and losers, distorting markets, and destroying competition. On the extreme end is the command economy, in which the political elite simply take over markets directly instead.
Oh what, people are rejecting a system that propogates social norms, prejudices, etc under the guise of a "free market?" People don't like a system where the owners own and the workers tirelessly work? Wow what a surprise. It's almost like serfs not enjoying working for a lord. Capitalism needs regulation; when it's not regulated, you get a repeat of the economic problems of the late 1800s

What most people don't understand is the Bernie is not a socialist even though he claims to be one. He supports private ownership with high taxes to redistribute profits. Be definition he is a welfare capitalist not an actual socialist.
>>72291297
>Conservatives now supporting Nationalism more than ever.
>Liberals now supporting Socialism more than ever.
If only we could get a compromise where the Conservatives were willing to do away with Capitalism to get Nationalism if the Liberals were willing to do away with Internationalism to get Socialism.
The time has literally never been more ripe in America for National Socialism. We just have to market it effectively.
>>72292128
the one error there i think is the assumption that the political elite are somehow separate from the capitalist class, when in most countries they're one and the same

Not in the US. Politicians typically (sometimes they are) aren't industry captains, they are a parasitic class of elites that trades favors (through legislation) for favors, usually campaign funding.
I don't like calling people a "capitalist class" because capitalist just means you believe in protecting your property and trading with others to generate wealth. There's nothing bad about that. Cronies want to use political parasites to fix the game in their favor.
>>72292415
Im not disagreeing that he is shit but unless he advocates for nationalizing the means of production, which he doesn't, he is not a socialist.

A majority of Millennials are idiots.
Buying politicians to create regulations that stomp out competition and secure more and more profits is not capitalism, it's corporatism. This is not a system of competition, which is a staple of capitalism.
Fuck anyone that doesn't know this.

Capitalism is the greatest thing on this Earth, you should earn your living not beg for people to feed you or your family. Everyone should work, no one is entitled to anything, humans have the basic need to feed themselves, if you can't feed yourself don't expect others to do it for you.
>>72292694
By your definition, there are no socialists in the world, then. Even Best Korea has private property. Even the USSR had private property, the government could just seize it.
The internet says:
so·cial·ism
ˈsōSHəˌlizəm/Submit
noun
a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
This describes Sanders and Chavez just fine.

>>72293053
Capitalism is to blame since in 1990 you'd buy for 120k what you now buy for 250k. However salaries have maybe increased by 5% or so since 1990.
I'm just explaining why it is logical that capitalism is shunned.
>>72291297
It's a reaction that isn't that strange given the economic crisis millenials have been born into. It's what caused the rise of facism in Europe and the Bolsheviks to successful take control of Russia.

They will have left wing views because of their young age - give it a few years from when they leave University/College and get a job in the real world they'll transition
>>72293053
Also most youth forget what destruction extreme socialism bought to countries in the Soviet Union, simply because they didn't grow up in it and the only thing they hear in school is ''well nice idea, but it just didn't work out''.

You don't think it has to do with increased demand for housing from EU citizens and the state buying up housing for social projects like housing a """refugee""" hive?

Wait for gen Z
We are the generation where nobody got medals because nobody could afford to get any. We learned really early that the boomers and millennials fucked the world for us and we won't have anything given to us but what we work for ourselves. We know if will fall to us to be screwed by the previous generations problems and like the greatest generation of ww2 I see many of us not even surviving.
We are pretty redpilled. Go talk to some people born on or after 2000 (but not so young that you couldn't expect them to understand) you'll be surprised how much more common sense we have compared to millennials. Most of us already have or ars looking for jobs we buy our own clothes our own phones many even end up helping with food. We also know that we must get good grades so we can get a good paying job. However we see through the lefty BS in school but all they are teaching us is instead of believing globalism is good and whites must feel guilty and we cause global warming we have learned to form our own ideas due to how retarded these seem. And so we have learned to not believe authority figures completely and to tell them what they want us to say in order to get marks
You'll see. We are bigger than millennials. When gen Z comes of age things will change.
>>72291297
That's globalism goy.
>>72291534
>he didn't Donate or Die
It'll pass, I'm sure the Boomers were just as bad. Well actually that doesn't sound so reassuring now that I think about it....
Kids go to state schools, state schools brainwash them to worship the state while the state keeps raising tuiton. These kids demand the state raise taxes on the private citizen to pay the state for the state raising tuiton.
The kids are mad they cant find jobs because the state lets in visas to take their jobs. So they are in debt to the state and cant get jobs because of the state. Better give the state more power because were mad!
>>72294240
>boomers and millenials
It was boomers and gen Xers ya stupid kid.
We're in the same boat and older millenials are only now coming into power. Unfortunately you're probably right that gen z will bring wide spread change, as those millenials pushing for power buy into the status quo.

No.

Because not only were they indoctrinated and led astray, they're also fighting against their best interests.
Immigration for instance. They love those poor helpless Mexicans and "Syrians". When really they will just take taxes and jobs.
Then they want the goverment to have more power. The same goverment who has fucked them. Really they should want everyone in our goverment to be hanged. That would make more sense.
>>72295192
>It was boomers and gen Xers ya stupid kid.
Your hate for X is misguided, I dont know about NZ population but X is outnumber by 10 million by the boomers and the millenials. X was immigrated into political irrelevance.
X has no political power, never will, they are junior congressmen and junior senators right now and middle management in any industry.
Direct your hate to boomers that have all the money, all the political capital and wont fucking go away. They are the money.
Millennials have never known national capitalism, only globalist capitalism. There is no reason anyone with any values or who isn't rich would enjoy globalist capitalism. It's completely unfair to blame Millennials or slander them as commies when it's the capitalists that made them this way.

>>72291456
What went wrong? How are the two different?
The moral of this story is, the west has been subverted and people live way too fucking long. Boomers have been draining the 2 preceding generations of all wealth to pay their pensions.
In the past people go to their mid 60s and died. Boomers live the good life, they dont want the free checks to dry up, and have sucked all capital out of the younger generations. Socialism is a fucking scam, robbing the poor to pay the rich and its destroying us.
Its fucking depressing the millenials are going to go down the same road and destroy their children so they can be old and useless and get paid for it.
80% of millennials couldn't remove a sandwich from a bag without help from their parents or getting triggered about something.
Fuck millennials.
>>72291297
>Millennials reject capitalism
>Too fucking stupid to realize all the luxuries their parents provided (smart phones, computers, video games, big screen TVs) which they perceive as common necessities are all thanks to capitalism.
Seems about right. A lot of this "rejection of capitalism" shit is millennials not being able to hack it in today's job market. It's literally sour grapes because they're arts and humanity degrees didn't land them that dream job at Buzzfeed.

We gain little to nothing from capitalism and our futures are bleak. Hell I was a libertarian for years and now a trump supporter. Even I can understand why people are voting bernie or any populist candidate.
Millennials are
>Broke
>Have the least wealth of all living generations
>Cannot afford anything
>Few to no good job prospects
There was an article stating the large majority of millennials have less than 1000$ in savings. Even for us poor anons our parents had more than we did when they were our age.
Most of my early 20 friends, don't own cars because they can't afford them. Can't find jobs that pay more than 12$/hr and they can rarely get full time hours, they're all basically working seasonally. And we're all in college
>inb4 college is a waste of time
Every job today requires a degree. They don't even specify anymore one of the requirements is always
>4 year degree
And we're talking low level jobs like data entry, cleric etc. Things 20 years ago people still in high school were allowed to do. And on top of a degree they want full time availability but are only giving seasonal hours. since the beginning of the year I've only gotten 222 hours from my hard labor job.
I can't stress this enough the economy is in the toilet along with every job requiring a degree.

how old were you when you realized there were other posable ways to live besides the capitalism one?
>>72291456
Just because we live entrenched in a corporatist system doesn't mean it's not the best system available. The same corporatist system is feeding the world.
At least the elites in such a corporatist system have quasi-incentives to placate the people, whereas leftist ideology is drivel that ought to be relegated to academia for the intelligentsia to muse over and grandstand with.
Also, where is your source for the founders not intending this? To quote Scalia, "I think Jefferson would have said 'the more speech, the better'". The founders own protections against entity corruption are meager
>>72296673
>Fuck millennials.
I feel like this sentiment is becoming more popular
"fuck old white boomers" is also a sentiment that is becoming popular
What will happen, I wonder? The older generations will squirrel and hide their money away, while the younger generations might opt out of working and paying tax altogether, screwing socialized health care system, etc.
everyone who's not top 1% is gonna get fucked desu. Something like 40% of the population has insufficient money saved for retirement (mostly whites) while the obesity generation has yet to hit their medical years? Shit's gonna get ugly
>>72296979
You sound like one of those faggots that think trade schools and blue collar jobs are beneath them.
