you can't genuinely be saying that utilities, transport and infrastructure are better when privatised. i could go into economics (research “natural monopolies”, some sectors make no sense to have competition), but i have better things to do. ask any brit (apart from the rich, they don't care) and 99% of them could complain to you about how much worse transport and utilities are now that theyre privatised
Socialism claims to prioritize the public good, yet its track record shows that planning and state control frequently result in inefficiency. The irony lies in their inability to reliably provide services they promise for “everyone’s benefit.” Under socialism, transportation, utilities, and infrastructure have often decreased in quality due to lack of competition and innovation, creating widespread inconvenience without any real path to improvement, except if capitalist policies are placed. Even Vietnam had to adopt capitalist policies after their economy stagnated in order to thrive, as well as China. And sure, Capitalism is far from perfect, but it at least offers the flexibility for creativity and innovation. Rather than imposing one-size-fits-all solutions, capitalism allows the people to meet the needs of people with diversity, including government oversight to ensure that the rights of people are protected.
you named 5 communist countries. you clearly don't know how much was better in the uk before successive neoliberal governments privatised everything. now, the free market has decided it's efficent to just not have half the trains work, it's efficent to dump unfiltered sewage into rivers, it's efficent to only run buses where it’s profitable so rural areas are left out. and this has all cost us billions.
A country with a lack of safety and everyone’s basic needs not being met does NOT equate to capitalism. On the contrary, many places like Switzerland, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, Taiwan, Ireland, Hong Kong, Japan, Monaco, Andorra, South Korea, Portugal, New Zealand, and Australia all have the lowest homelessness rates, the highest qualities of life, and least amount of homelessness and starvation.
And since we are on the topic of living in a dangerous world where most people can barely feed themselves except two people with 500 yachts, let’s talk about countries like Venezuela, Cuba, Eritrea, Laos, and North Korea. Let’s ask those countries how they are doing right now under a socialist government with starvation, homelessness, oppression, and danger, except for a small group of people ruling the nations with lavish lifestyles that only those people under socialist nations can even DREAM OF. Talk about exploitation, and yet they’re calling the capitalists out for it. Maybe don’t falsely accuse us of encouraging exploitation by elites next time without even considering how horrible these people in the socialist (and communist nations) are being exploited by their own government. At least with capitalism, we have more freedom and higher living standards, and it worked out well for dozens of countries adopting capitalism across the world.
Join capitalism today, as we advocate for the facts against the facade of socialism and communism.
taking a break from politicalposting for this.
over this winter and holiday season, many people will be not very well off. please, if you are in the position to do so, make donations to local charities and try and help out in your community. you can make such a difference to somebody’s life. so many people will be going without heating, or food, or both, plus many kids may not be able to get anything for christmas, while if they were to get something it could make them just that little bit happier.
please, everybody just help in any way that you can.

gonna debunk this later but for now i think this speaks for itself (also btw edison didn't invent the light bulb and that vint bloke didn't invent the internet)
Actually, it’s quite the opposite. While socialism may have good intentions, it limits the drive for innovation because the control in socialism is centralized, which can also stagnate economic growth. Under a socialist society, productivity can lag because there's less personal incentive to excel when the rewards are shared indiscriminately. Capitalism thrives on fair competition, pushing businesses to innovate and improve efficiency, ultimately benefiting everyone with better products & lower prices. While socialism promises equality, it leads to inefficiency and limited personal freedom, as the government decides what is produced, who receives it, and what they can do with them. Capitalism empowers people to decide what they want to give to the world and gives them the freedom to pursue these goals, creating a dynamic society with more opportunities and high living standards. In fact, since you’ve mentioned exploitation, many capitalist societies addresses issues like inequality and monopolization, and even has regulations on them, but without stripping away personal freedom or the drive to innovate. Simply put, capitalism’s focus on individual initiative has a reputation of raising living standards and progress that socialism just can't match. Most of the best inventors in the world used their capitalist freedoms to invent things we all rely on today, like for example, Thomas Edison for the light bulb, Alexander Bell for the cellphone, and Vint Cerf for the internet.
except it doesn't work like that. capitalism leads to monopolisation and exploitation. why wouldn't you want society as a whole to own the means of production, and instead for it to be held by the ultrarich? privatisation doesn't work. (see: literally everything that Th*tcher privatised) the main distinction between modern capitalism (especially in the us) and fascism is that in fascism, the ruling class don't bother pretending to care about the workers. turns out the free market doesn't go for innovation and efficency when they can just exploit their workers, force out or buy out the competition and monopolise everything.
Communism: a political and economic system that seeks to create a classless society in which the major means of production, such as mines and factories, are owned and controlled by the public.
Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Capitalism: an economic system in which a society's means of production are held by private individuals or organizations, not the government, and where products, prices, and the distribution of goods are determined mainly by competition in a free market.
I don’t know about you, but I think we all know what the difference between these 3 economic ideologies are, and the last one is very promising. A free market, private ownership, and production not controlled by the public or government sounds good to me, as it encourages hard work and innovation to create better solutions that will change the world for the better, and rewards hard work for their products and services they sell to others.

average captialist (doesn't have a clue on the difference between communism and socialism)
@socialism: Advocates for no incentive to work since we are all going to be paid the same anyways, less entrepreneurial opportunities and innovation, advocating for price controls, leading to a reduction in supply and more starvation, and believes in collective ownership of property, and not allowing their citizens to own a piece of property.
@capitalism: Advocates for incentive to work as more people are going to be paid for hard work, more entrepreneurial opportunities and innovation (which leads to better progress and more creativity), advocating for supply and demand, where the price goes up and down based on the demand and supply that is available and believes in individuals owning their OWN property, without anyone else taking that away from them.
The choice is obvious. Will we choose freedom or socialism? Follow us for more.
