Steal all the equipment, open a new factory run by the workers.

I have a news flash for some in this thread: you all love socialism (some of the time)! Don't believe me?

When your house is burning down, do you want the fire department to show up and say "well your house is worth $300k ... so for a mere 20%, just $60k, we'll save your house!" Because that's how a capitalist fire department works. Believe it or not, you like having a socialist fire department.

When someone breaks into your house, do you want the cops to show up and say "sorry we can't help: you didn't pay for police protection this month?" Because that's a capitalist police department works; you like the socialist kind.

We could keep going with everything else the government does for you: roads, military defense, food safety, ensuring anyone can get treated at ERs, etc.

Ultimately it's not "capitalism/socialism is good/bad" ... it's "capitalism/socialism is a better/worse system for handling ______". And in truth, capitalism is a lot better, for a lot of systems ... but certainly not all.

The best rpg of all time came from the West - Japan. Yep, Japan is the West. China = the East.

Explain?

All the great innovations of the past 60 years, things from NASA, the internet, medical RND, sat nav, etc come exclusively from the investment of private capital.

Plastic has been such a great innovation, and employed so effectively. Great job capitalism!

It sure was worth turning the planet into venus 2.0 in exchange for being able to use the internet for a few years.

Thought NASA was taxpayer money. So was DARPA. And CERN. Albiet I think CERN searches out private grants now.
