i think it's good that the dude tries to seek alternatives to capitalism

Is trumps economic smart since he is doing fast economic growth

like they mentioned bolivia as a good example

but here's a quick google search

"Bolivia is a state plagued with inequality and inadequate development, making it the poorest nation in South America. Poverty affects the majority of the population, with almost 40 percent of Bolivians living in extreme poverty."

Not sure how sustainable it is but it is giving Americans jobs. When Biden is in power. They will lose jobs

thomas sowell is a good economist. he wrote a few books that's the equivalent of "economic for dummy".

I haven’t gotten around with him lol

i only did basic level economics at high school and got a MEH grade AND forgot everything so

just to play the devil's advocate: if you look at the "socialist" european countries (just poorly based on number, not the eye test) -- those countries would be in deep poverty and with great inequality

my school doesn’t teach anything useful since it’s just preparing for uni

i didn't sign up for econ for uni, but it's a mandatory class. i was grateful for it

in Hs?

i had mandatory religion acceptance or whatever

There is a uni prep English in my school but I took the normal 2 semester English since it’s gradually uni level

lmao i almost went to a christian HS and laughed when Religion was a mandatory course

wasn't christian

the government mandated it

then stopped mandating it

I went private through third grade and had to take bible class

I wonder how different I would be if I was a Christian

we don't have good AP classes in our school at all lol. like if you want to take the test, you're floating on your own

socialism just seems like a far stretch tho don't you think? all we can do is look at the socialist countries before and observe

I used to be Christian but kinda went away from it, preaching the same stuff over and over and making zero effect in my life

for some reason i treat socialism, marxism and communism as the same thing

I wonder if my school even does ap tests anymore because of covid

The only time I encountered a Bible was a summer sport camp (that i didn't discovered was orchestrated by a local church, my teachers were there). i was the only non-Christian there and i LOVE the lectures (mostly because i can play the devil-advocate). they shoved a bible in my hands at the end and tell me (excitedly) to join the school's christian club

I’m saying that cause some of my classmates know the digits of pi for no reason

lol they're wasting their time

technically, they are similar. communism is the end goal of both socialism and marxism

thing called a calculator

full-socialism is a sure-way to destroy a country, for sure

Starts three rest of the numbers to be determined by someone other than me

no one will know beyond 3.14 in many cases

i just don't see the logic in supporting something without a complete plan for a economy layed out

i think that's fine. a few christians i knew didn't quite keep in touch with the religious side of their life for a period of time and/or as they grow older

the fact that capitalism was developed under that or whatever doesn't cut it for me

especially when there is so much more dependance on others for producing things. if it fails then it's bad news for everyone

I just don’t see a reason to follow, I can help people without singing praise Jesus hallelujah amen

a lot of socialism is hinged on the government. as the dependence on government grows bigger, eventually it will reach communism

fair. i make fun of people who constantly invokes jesus's name to justified their position (although i like them lol)
