There's always a common denominator for what is wrong with capitalism or communism.

One of the big problems with capitalism is how it actively stifles Innovation when it conflicts with the profit motive. Additionally it is not great at Distributing needed resources and as a result whole segments of the population become unproductive.

We literally have people in the United States dying because they can't get insulin. A technology that cost pharmaceutical companies $0 to develop.

Here in the west, a woman can wake up, go take a shit, piss, make herself some instant noodle then go in her inflated hot tub in front of a Camera on a platform called twitch.

They can then make six figures a month while doctors make that in a year while Venezuela and many other place die of hunger.

That's the world people want to live in from what i can see.

Whole economy is destroyed and people keep making these women rich .

One might argue most cases of this are the exact opposite of free market capitalism. Im not super familiar with why insulin is the way it is, but isnt it because government has stepped in and mandated that a few conpanies have a oligopoly on insulin due to lobbying and other coercive methods that would not exist if government itself were more restricted?

Also im not 100% positive, but people who need insulin generally seem to get it here in IL

the results you see are due to money in politics
free market capitalism is just a race to see who can amass the most amount of wealth to bend the system to their will

gj, you smarter than most .

There is no such thing as "free market capitalism". It's a meaningless buzz word that righties made up so they can always say it's government's fault. In reality there are many examples that are well documented where multiple companies came together to set prices, set quality of items, etc.

Capitalism requires government intervention to function. It requires courts, property rights, a system of laws to define the playing field. Without that there is no property and no capitalism. Conservatives will point to that system of laws and say "look, its interferring with the free market". Yeah, no shit, there's literally no such thing as a perfectly free market.
