Capitalism is an economic system where private entities own the factors of production. The four factors are entrepreneurship, capital goods, natural resources, and labor. The owners of capital goods, natural resources, and entrepreneurship exercise control through companies. The individual owns his or her labor.
The only exception is slavery, where someone else owns a person's labor. Although illegal throughout the entire world, slavery is still widely practiced.

You would prefer a Chinese or Russian Communist Empire?
America is far from perfect but.......
I would prefer real capitalism with controls. It is no good to point toward the USA as the model at this time in history thier debt is unpayable and they are in steep decline. I have no doubt that they,re finished as a world power economically and militarily.
Neither Russia nor China is communist anymore; not if you understand how communism is supposed to work. Russia is a mobocracy and China has more billionaires than the USA.
At the same time that Hitler was killing off the prominent capitalists and their friends in Germany, the U.S. capitalists were practicing eugenics (Human Betterment Foundation), enforcing Jim Crow Laws, using Zyklon-B for executions, sterilizations by force, experimentation within mental homes and using humans as medical guinea pigs, and were continuing the holocaust against the North American Indians,
All done against poor people.
Ain't capitalism just great?

And during that time Communism was enslaving and killing way more people.
You are either a professional Marxist liar/apologist or a fool.
Hi! Gilgamesh
If the term "Communist" refers to the massacres carried out by Stalin and The Clowns, you would need to know that nearly half the people holding the most senior posts within Stalin's security apparatus were of the same ethnic origin that Hitler was wiping out.

Charles Goethe wrote to Gosney in a letter from 1934:
"You will be interested to know that your work has played a powerful part in shaping the opinions of the group of intellectuals who are behind Hitler in this epoch-making program. Everywhere I sensed that their opinions have been tremendously stimulated by American thought and particularly by the work of the Human Betterment Foundation. I want you, my dear friend, to carry this thought with you for the rest of your life, that you have really jolted into action a great government of 60 million people."

Which has nothing to do wth with my post.
Your defence of evil & bloody Central State Socialism aka. Communism is duly noted.
Hitler killed off prominent capitalists? Who exactly? He got into power by making a deal with prominent capitalists.
Hi! Bar Sinister
Well, obviously Hitler did not begin wiping out the Prominent Capitalists until after he was in power, so I don't understand why you would mention making deals in order to win power.

Global Free Market Capitalism is failing.
The proponents of Free Trade, Monetarism, deregulation, privatization have a disingenuous view of the world. Most of the technological advancements of the modern world are a result of primary research funded by governments (including the internet and most of modern medicine) through academic or military investment.
The global free market system is by its nature one of limiting the sharing of technology and wealth to skew markets by way of shortages; including those of stock, cedit and labour markets. Almost all the the economic advances and real wealth creation in the West have been as a result of a TRUE Free Enterprise System; sovereign, protected, with level playing fields (notably against trusts), and available credit; implemented by nation states. That which Global Free Markets intends to destroy.
The World Economy has been taken over by parasites in the Investment Banks, Hedge Funds and Corporate Trading interests. They produce nothing and take all they can. They are utterly amoral, predatory and greed infested. The reap grotesque wealth through the exploitation and impoverishment of everyone else.

UN Scientific Paper Suggests Capitalism Has to Die in Order for the Planet to Be Saved
Capitalism and global sustainability are incongruous with one another, according to a recent paper for the UN’s 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report.
The team of researchers from various academic institutions throughout Finland who wrote the report gave a sobering assessment of the planet’s future if the current economic order continues unabated. Namely, that all rich Western countries have based their societies on an abundance of cheap energy, which the scientists say is no longer a reality.
“Economies have used up the capacity of planetary ecosystems to handle the waste generated by energy and material use,” the paper reads. “[D]ominant economic theories as well as policy-related economic modeling rely on the presupposition of continued energetic and material growth. The theories and models anticipate only incremental changes in the existing economic order. Hence, they are inadequate for explaining the current turmoil.”
Scientists argued that worsening climate change is having a drastic impact on ecosystems and biodiversity, and that symptoms of unchecked capitalism like rising inequality, unemployment, and debt are also contributing to the destabilization of society. In order to guarantee that humanity is able to have a good quality of life on earth for future generations, the paper’s authors argued that new economic systems will have to be created, rather than the standard band-aid approach governments have taken in the recent past.

Ha Ha ha ha written by socialists what would you expect them to say, I'm just guessing here are these the same researchers that also wrote for the Paris agreement that the transfer of wealth to the third world is the only way to save our planet?
Where did it say that?
The developed part of the world wants a line drawn that has only them getting the better parts of life. That is a concept they came up with behind closed doors. The 90% of the population that it also affects are not privy to any part of the plan let alone having the right to object to any part of it.
That is what is going to be ripped to shreds. United Fruit, down for the count, Corporate farms in South Africa in Court. World Bank, current king, unchallenged at the moment.

What is your personal carrying capacity for grief, rage, despair? We are living in a period of mass extinction. The numbers stand at 200 species a day. That's 73,000 a year. This culture is oblivious to their passing, feels entitled to their every last niche, and there is no roll call on the nightly news.
There is a name for the tsunami wave of extermination: the Holocene extinction event. There's no asteroid this time, only human behavior, behavior that we could choose to stop. Adolph Eichman's excuse was that no one told him that the concentration camps were wrong. We've all seen the pictures of the drowning polar bears. Are we so ethically numb that we need to be told this is wrong?
Need more reasons to resist?

Yes, because your post is factually incorrect in every aspect. State Socialism aka. Communism has a far far worse record re. pollution and destruction of the environment. Of course, you would have to actually read to discover that. When the USSR collapsed the world was horrified to see how they stored industrial waste, including nuclear waste. Only recently has China started to clean its act up.

In fact although capitalism is far from perfect, corporations tend to continue to refine their processes not because they are virtue signalling faux SJW like yourself but because profits are greater the less water, electricity etc. used.
Profits are a good thing. The number of people living below the poverty line today is a smaller % than at any timein history - except for self proclaimed socialist paradises such as PDRNK, Venezuela,and of course most of the Theocratic dictatorships.
In spite of the bs from countless academics in the West, capitalism continues to flourish and adapt to changing times.
It's far from perfect but it is better than any other system mankind has invented.
BTW not only were the capitalists such as Krupp, IG Farben, Siemens among the first to support Hitler (after the doctors!), he treated them well to the end.
BTW the behaviour of the german medical profession was horrifying at that time.
Obviously praxis is not a free thinker. Or any other kind of thinker.Ok, you can't have Global Warming as the Greatest Scam in History and have Global Capitalism as the Greatest Scam in History too. One has to be worse then the other.
But I always had hatred towards Capitalism and what it represents. And before someone tries to shove "Freedom" in my face, Capitalism has nothing to do with freedom, let alone Democracy.
The planet has a few alternatives for those who dislike capitalism. The PDRNK, Venezuala, and of course the various theocratic dictatorships.
Don't let the door hit you in the back on your way out.

FTR regarding the evils of capitalism & AGW in regard to endangered species
It was tragedy porn meant to provoke a visceral response — the gut-wrenching video of an emaciated polar bear struggling to drag himself across a snowless Canadian landscape made billions of people groan in anguish. Taken in August 2017 by biologist Paul Nicklen, a co-founder of the Canadian non-profit SeaLegacy, the video was posted on Instagram in December 2017, stating “This is what starvation looks like” as part of a discussion about climate change.
Two days later, SeaLegacy’s media and communications partner, National Geographic, published the video with added subtitles that began: “This is what climate change looks like.” The SeaLegacy webpage published the video also, under a headline that claimed “This is the face of climate change.” The message was clear: Blame climate change for this bear’s fate.
The National Geographic video went viral, with an estimated audience of 2.5 billion (it set a site record), and garnered international media attention that blamed global warming for the polar bear’s plight.
Polar bears keep thriving even as global warming alarmists keep pretending they’re dying
Terence Corcoran: Polar bear battle in Toronto! It’s good science vs. climate do-gooders
Terence Corcoran: Canadian finds polar bears are doing fine — and gets climate-mauled
The backlash from the public was swift and fierce. Some were angry that nothing had been done to help the bear. Nicklen insisted he could not have saved it: “It would also have been illegal to feed him, to approach him, or to do anything to ease his pain.” The last bit is not quite true. Nicklen could have called the nearest conservation officer, who would have euthanized the bear and arranged a necropsy to determine the cause of the bear’s poor condition (which was likely one of the cancers known to cause muscle wasting in polar bears). But a necropsy result would have hamstrung Nicklen’s plan to use the starving-bear video to spur action on climate change, so he and his crew simply let the bear swim away without telling anyone, extending the animal’s suffering.
Many other viewers were furious that an obviously sick animal had been deliberately exploited to advance a political agenda based on lies. Climate change was clearly not the cause of this bear’s plight: Sea-ice loss had not been exceptionally high that year and no other bears in the area were starving. Viewers felt manipulated.
National Geographic might hope its apology will bring donors back. I suspect it’s done the opposite
The criticism continued for months until, out of the blue, some previously undisclosed facts about the incident were revealed online in an essay written by Nicklen’s SeaLegacy partner, Cristina Mittermeier, destined for the August 2018 print issue of National Geographic. Mittermeier admitted Nicklen was scouting for an image that could be used to “communicate the urgency of climate change” when he spotted the emaciated bear. She confessed that she and Nicklen knew the bear was probably sick or injured before they started to film but proceeded regardless. She also revealed that days passed between Nicklen’s first sight of the starving bear and the actual filming of it: He told no one about the suffering animal while he waited for his film crew to arrive.
In her essay, Mittermeier makes a number of excuses for the subsequent public outcry over the footage but ultimately blames National Geographic for subtitles on the video that missed the story’s “nuance.” Apparently, she thinks SeaLegacy’s caption that implicated climate change is materially different from National Geographic’s caption that implicated climate change.
Oddly, National Geographic admitted culpability with an apology (embedded in Mittermeier’s essay) that begins: “National Geographic went too far in drawing a definitive connection between climate change and a particular starving polar bear in the opening caption of our video about the animal.” Why would it issue such a mea culpa? Had the public backlash and editorial criticism hurt its organization more than it was willing to admit? National Geographic might hope that Mittermeier’s essay and its apology will bring former supporters and donors back into the fold, but I suspect it’s done the opposite.
The additional details make the actions of the SeaLegacy founders harder to forgive, not easier. They also raise the question of whether this cruel and deliberate exploitation of a dying bear violated strict Nunavut conservation laws for documentary filmmaking. We’ll see.
Mittermeier claims the public should never have taken the video literally. However, it’s apparent people took it literally because it was presented as a simple message: Blame climate change for this bear’s suffering. Mittermeier and Nicklen still don’t understand why their efforts backfired but it’s simple. They tried to dupe people with obvious lies and allowed an animal to suffer for days in order to satisfy their agenda. Mittermeier says she’d do it again. Sadly, I believe her.
Susan Crockford is a zoologist and adjunct professor at the University of Victoria. She blogs about polar bears at www.polarbearscience.com.
Yes indeedy, it is all a conspiracy.
Get help.
