@GunSmoke9 You mean the country where homeless people literally freeze to death sleeping outside of empty unused buildings?

@GunSmoke9 1/3 of the population, 100 million people live at or near the poverty line. Only works for the corrupted rich

@SW-User Is that the fault of capitalism?
SW-User
@GunSmoke9 Yes.

@Gusman If not capitalism, what then?
GunSmoke9 · 56-60, M
@SW-User Wrong. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system.

@GunSmoke9 Communism, fool.

@GunSmoke9 Even if that is true, so what? The best thing you have tried can still be shitty af.

@SW-User I guess you hate freedom.
SW-User
@GunSmoke9 Yes, you got me. I hate freedom.

@GunSmoke9 I pointed out that in a country where supposedly Capitalism works one third of the population is living in poverty.
The US has 540 Billionaires worth 2.4 Trillion Dollars. It works for some but it kills many more

@Gusman Are you sure that you just don't hate freedom?

@SW-User You responded to the wrong person?
GunSmoke9 · 56-60, M
@SW-User Anybody that supports communism is foolish.
SW-User
@Gusman No, clearly if you think people are more important than property that means you hate freedom.
