Thats a good point

> Our capitalist government introduced the tax to pay out the banks that brought the recession by going bust and bailing them out
@Lao What party was it that did this? Im now more interested in irish politics lol

Still, would not prefer to talk, perhaps know me for a decade or so and I'll show up

@TeletubbyCancer it was a mixture coalition government between FF and I believe FG

lol sure

Two right leaning conservative parties

Speaking of shit and that, have you seen the new SAS commerical? @Wild

Scandinavian Airlines?

nah i'll check now

Be warned

@Wild

AHHH thats why, they're not capitalist they're republican/conservative @Lao

Irish politics is trash because theres only ever like 3 parties

Scandinavian culture doesn't exist

Capitalism would not allow this smh

Says the SAS ad

Be sure to check it out

@TeletubbyCancer they're very much against socialism

Then they're hypocrites lol

a mix between actual culture and stolen as most countries no?

@Lao
They bailed out the banks tho

No

Thats not capitalism

Watch and see for yourself

Bailing out banks as an action is inherently un-capitalist

Thats defo corporatism

Like I said they go hand in hand

No

wot

Capitalism and corporatism are kinda opposite

Capitalism is about free markets

Free from government intervention

Bailouts aint free markets

I mean i get the stick they're going with here
