That's OK, because we've never had capitalism, either.
We have had capitalism for ages.
[27 lines snipped]
We've never had capitalism in this country.
WEll we have according to those who ran it.
And it failed in Russia, venezuela, Zimbabwe, China..
Only place its worked is Norway where they are sitting on enough oil & gas money they can afford it.
Onlu a marxist would see it in those terms.
You have drunk the koolaid
So is Venezuela. And even they have managed to f*ck it up.
It currently is failing in Norway.
Pure Capitalism is fine. The problems begin when you try to exploit it with aspects of Socialism. You can't expect something that's been tampered with and consequently devalued to function as well as it might have done if left unmolested.
Ah so we don't have any private companies making products/services and selling them for money. Please tell this to everyone working in the private sector.
I am finding it hard to believe we are having this debate, even on uk.diy.
So am I. And since you're (i) arguing with Rod Speed, a well known troll, and (ii) obviously an idiot, I shall henceforth ignore you. But before I take my leave, here's a hint. Perhaps get an adult to explain it to you. Note the absence of the word "any" in my sentence.
Which sentence? There is more than one in your post. And your post scores very highly on the trolling scale.
DP can explain it to you, he's a fully qualified champagne socialist also.
He's killfiled, too.
Just cut the unskilled immigration and wages would soon start to rise especially amongst the low paid.
In article , "Dave Plowman (News)" writes
Down again this month. Getting Labours profligacy under control at last.
Cut unskilled immigration and low wages will rise as will security of employment.
We've never had communism.
You would have thought if Dave was genuine, he'd support this, wouldn't you?
Support an idiot's simplistic view of things? I'll leave that to you.
You would indeed - unless you look a little more closely of the attitudes of the Trades Unions to maintaining their "differentials" and their misogyny in keeping down womens' wages.
