Capitalism is a problem because it changes the fundamental nature of your brain.

Neuroscientists have done brain scans and discovered that power causes brain damage.
The brain scan of a wealthy person is similar to that of a psychopath.
People with an enormous amount of money have brain damage.
Why is that?
A normal person has the ability to have empathy.
If you are too powerful or too wealthy, you don't have the capacity to have feelings for others.
Take for example a person like Elon Musk, Mark Zukerburg or Donald Trump.
They are completely unable to have feelings for others.

Is communism the answer? No! Their tyrants are even worse than capitalist tyrants.

Yes. People need to be controlled and prevented from grabbing everything for themselves while others starve.

No! Their tyrants are even worse than capitalist tyrants.

Compare Xi Jinping to Donald Trump. Who is worse?

This is a public chat site, it's not meant for getting personal with anyone here. You are the one who is dense if you believe you can do so. You do not have to apologize for your comments directed at me. Speak freely. I abhor censorship.

Actually, Trump - as a US President - is incomparable. Even a street thug has a better sense of decorum in his part of the world.
Thank God, Trump's governmental role in the White House is restricted by the Constitution. Even then, as Commander-in-Chief, he is using the US military like a five year old playing with a toy set.

You are a young punk, David. Communism is too heavy a topic for you. Did you even make it through high school?

Summa cum laude? Your parents must have been proud.

[quote]People get a lot more personal than I have with you all of the time ,so I obviously can do it , though I don't like doing so and usually refrain from it .

By "personal" you mean taking liberties to throw insults at me? Feel free to do it. I am not a thin-skinned liberal.

Anyone who seriously promotes communism as a viable means of existence is either woefully misinformed or just sick.I almost feel sorry for you ( note : I said almost .)As for being a " young punk ",I'll take that over being a middle - aged fool.😉

I don't know what communism is. If you are talking about the political ideology of Karl Marx, it was never implemented let alone done so successfully in any country as far as I know. If I am wrong, then point out which country has a communist society as envisoned by Karl Marx?
