The real issue is not which is better, the real issues are which socialist programs should we have and how far should we let the free-market dominate before regulating it
the only thing that matter is this:
Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism
it'll be 37 socialism, 33 capitalism in 6 months.
god i love always being right. everything marx has said has come to revelation. 6 months from now this will be reversed.
Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better.
Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better.
Investors by a 5-to-1 margin choose capitalism. As for those who do not invest, 40% say capitalism is better while 25% prefer socialism.
There is a partisan gap as well. Republicans - by an 11-to-1 margin - favor capitalism. Democrats are much more closely divided: Just 39% say capitalism is better while 30% prefer socialism. As for those not affiliated with either major political party, 48% say capitalism is best, and 21% opt for socialism.
Question: What is this under 30 crowd representative of?
1) Indoctrinated to a left leaning educational system. Everyone is special and equally talented.
2) The first of the "me generation" is now here and in there twenties. They are typified by a lifetime of praise for even the smallest accomplishments. Having no competitive edge since noone keeps score anymore so noone's feelings get hurt. Everyone is a winner. Here's your ninth place trophy Carter, you are special. Why do you think some of these dipshits end up making asses of themselves on American Idol? They were never told they are just average or that they outright suck at singing. Instead their mommies and daddies told them how wonderful and talented they were and they can be whatever they want to be if they try. Simon is the reality check for them and now they will need years of therapy to get over the truth. (Just my theory on Amer. Idol)
3) You can't blame GTC, He is a product of this pussification of the youth in America. And now indoctrinated with a liberal education. He thinks he knows about being in the real world and having a real career, and a mortgage, and a family to look out for. He will take a few years in the real world to figure things out and I would bet he would look back (when he's about 36) on these dozens of Obama man-crush threads he started and laugh at what a little pompous know-it-all punk he was in his twenties.
That isn't the belief of capitalism but Keynes was correct when he said "in the long run, everyone is dead," and thankfully that came true for him. He was such a black mark on human existence.Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.

Socialism is gaining and the Pirates will win their division this year.hno:so 20% of the respondents said socialism is better than capitalism and this is some sort of evidence that everything marx said is coming to pass?
you really are a fucking moron if you can't decipher a simple stat
20 = 1 in 5 Einstein ... 1 out of every 5 gtc'ers think socialism is better than capitalism and this is your big proof?
once thought impossible, you actually get dumber with each passing day
