I totally agree with you that capitalism is the best economic system, and I've been in the trenches pointing out the utter failures of socialism literally every time it's been tried. The problem, though, is that capitalism can only exist in a country that is small, with high IQs, and an altruistic/non-tribal/hard working culture. We have not had capitalism in the US for at least 100 years, unless you seriously think that free markets can exist when trading in fiat currency that is constantly created and given to the well connected. Look at what happened with Kodak just this week:
  • Kudlow & Trump give Kodak $765 million in loans "to create a pharmaceutical startup over the next 8 years". I have no idea what that means and neither do you.
  • The day before the announcement, Kodak's CEO is granted 1.75 million options "shield Continenza’s overall stake in the company from being diluted by a $100 million convertible bond deal clinched in May 2019".
  • The day before the announcement, 1.6 million shares of Kodak change hands at $2.50, vs the usual 80,000.
  • Kodak now trades at $30 per share. So another $1 billion transferred directly from taxpayers to the swamp.
This is why I cannot support Trump any more, and why I believe that after he is reelected he will abandon any pretense of trying to serve his base and turn his efforts into helping the American people come to terms with our de facto status as a colony of Israel. The timing of these corona virus lockdowns is remarkably convenient for the globalists; otherwise more people might be wondering if some of our economic problems might, just maybe, come from the various Central Banks of the world.

The wild card to me is the Internet. Imagine someone like Nirgon writing these things 4 years ago - people have woken up a lot. But will it matter when everyone is employed by BigCorp and dependent on corona virus stimulus cheques? What fraction of humanity is actually capable of creating a decent civilization? I mean, if any nation had a chance it was Sweden, a nation with an average IQ of 105, tremendously altruistic genetics, and a population of only 10 million. And look at them now: no one can use Sweden as an example of socialist successes any more! I sadly think that the fraction of us who could grow up in a capitalist paradise and still have the willpower and motivation to maintain it is a straight 0.0. The 'good' news is that we are about to go back into the tank for a new round of painful biological and cultural evolution.
Lol there's always gotta be a "God damn jews!!" guy
