I would argue that Capitalism is tearing the US apart.
You have amazingly elite extremely rich people who are benefitting off their version of Capitalism and control and the majority of wage earners who are not earning enough to pay for accommodation and living expenses.
You then have smaller businesses copying how the elite got rich similarly exploiting their wage earners.
I would think that is what is tearing the country apart.

@Zeusdelight Well said.

@Zeusdelight So, what is your opinion of China's model?

@sree251 A yes, cue derailing the conversation with cold war rhetoric.

@sree251 State Capitalism, like the kind China has, is much worse than Western Capitalism.
However, we're heading towards State Capitalism.

@sree251 But if you want to play that game. What is your opinion of Saudi Arabia's capitalist model?

@BohemianBabe China's economic model has lifted millions out of poverty. Why is that bad?

@sree251 It is not bad. But that also happened under Mao. So it doesn't support your position either.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Capitalism is for survival of the fittest. If you are born with two left feet, why take it out on the guys who are blessed?

@sree251 Talk about saying the quiet part out loud declaring yourself a social Darwinist.
And again you are pushing a completely bullshit false narrative.
Particularly after I pointed out socialism has resulted in the greatest increase in quality of life and life expectancy in human history.
But who cares about facts when you have right wing reactionary slogans.

@Zeusdelight Good response. I would pat you on the back if I could even if it is American.
