Of course you can. But you'll be called a fence sitter.
Kevin Ross
You can't criticise capitalism else you are a right fool. Capitalism is the belief in a means of wealth exchange. if you don't believe your words can offer us wealth then why do you post them here? only to poison us! Be gone you snake.

That is literally what fascism is.
Nicholas Lopez
Idiot, capitalism is what turned our countries into arab/negro hellholes.
There must be a third position that is neither capitalism or socialism.
Eli Walker
capitalism is just trading stuff. socialism is taking stuff at gunpoint and redistributing it
Elijah Morgan
I think capitalism has its uses and is a fine economic concept.
I wish everything didn't revolve around money so much tho.
People should just do stuff for one another without monetary exchange.
And it sucks that the best way to make money is not by working hard at a job useful for society
But rather simply having money makes it easy to get more of it.
There is something very off about the world, but state-centered socialism isn't the answer.

I can’t fucking stand the economic illiteracy of pretty much everyone. Even on pol you retards have fallen for the capitalism/communism Hegelian dialectic. Hey retards. You dont have to choose one. They aren’t the only two economic systems. Go fucking educate yourself before posting again.
Retard. Capitalism is a system where individuals can own capital goods. Go sticking educate yourself.
Kevin Johnson
If you even know what capitalism is. And people like you do not. You 100% of the time ignore government regulations, pay to play schemes with the government, and the central bank.
No one has time to reply to retards who don't know what they are talking about.
Luis Nguyen
You don't have to be a (((communist))) to know that (((capitalism))) is cancer, perhaps even worse than (((communism))) itself, since rich kikes gave a birth to it in the first place.
Jeremiah Thomas
If you criticize capitalism and you're NOT a socialist, you're a hypocrite.
Levi Robinson
Of course you can. Any long term, high functioning society needs a combination of capitalist industry (including small business and mom and pop operations) and financing, combined with a good social safety net. Stray too far from that balance in either direction and chaos and slavery ultimately ensues
Its the same for politics. Any long term, high functioning society needs a roughly 50/50 mix of left and right orientated people to ensure stability and prosperity. Ideally you want those people to be moderate left or right but a small number of extremists, on both sides, is useful to identify bad ideas. Very occasionally a good idea comes from the extremists
If you are still on the left vs right or capitalism vs socialism bandwagon then congrats, you have been brainwashed by (((them))) to create divide and you a part of the problem with western society
Leo Cooper
No you retard
Carter Campbell
Yes, retard.
Noah Evans
There was also fascism, but the reality is that capitalism outclasses all of them
Bentley Gray
>no
Read any fascist works you fucking retard bognigger.

>They aren’t the only two economic systems.
Quite right. We could run our economies on a potlatch.
Carson Taylor
We've done it a million times. The wealth created is because the tax payer takes the risk and the profits are privatized. 87% of the stock exchange in Wallstreet are owned by 3 companies who do nothing but own companies because they are rich enough to do it. But yeah, when you think of capitalism you immediately think of the butcher and the baker because you own a business, have it good and don't want anyone to ruin this for you.
Jonathan Richardson
Of course. Vast majority of people support anti-predatory regulations and so on.
Joshua Wilson
No.
Leo Garcia
do you know the difference between capitalism and cronyism?
it may help.
I'm a capitalist but I can think critically of it, but I also acknowledge it is a much better alternative than communism/socialism

>that quote
It’s interesting to me because the American school of economics acted in that principle of the “Harmony of Interests” up until ~1989.

Sure, but first understand that what we have isn't capitalism - it's corporatism.
"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini
In capitalism, there is no "too big to fail". No bailouts. No central banks...

Indeed, you cannot, because the word "capitalism" was invented by m*rx. By using it you are accepting a m*rxist meta-narrative.
You are welcome to criticise "free markets", "decentralisation", or "praxeology".
