It has a bit too many flaws and all it does in the west is selling out stuff so everything is $$$ and just increasing the income gaps and who can afford what. Not saying any variation of "communism"(aka. totalitarianism) is better with previous leaders' work, but yeah people have to look more to the flaws and nor swallow conservative right wing stuff so easily.

Understandable. I mean, I'm a conservative, but sometimes I look at both parties and their arguments for governmental changes and just think about how doomed we are here in the US. I really think political sides have taken everything too far. I'm so tired of politics.
That's why voting and caring is important though, all the extremist(or here right-wings) gain those votes because those people care. But yeah understandable as well, leftist parties must be heard too I think.

Here are some truths about capitalism:
1. You get to choose what job you want and where you live.
2. If you don’t like your country or your country’s government, you can move out without getting in trouble.
3. The government won’t edit history to avoid criticism.
4. The government will accept criticism.
5. Persecution of people based on religion (in favor of no religion at all or in favor of immoral behaviors) isn’t government-sanctioned.
6. You won’t die if you rebel against the government.
7. You can hate the government without getting in any trouble.
Now what about communist countries? Which of the above is true about communist nations?

The only thing I truly hate about capitalism is that when corruption enters the government (which is pretty much unavoidable) then it's bound to create overly wealthy individuals and huge gaps between the rich and the poor. When capitalism and greed/corruption are involved it's impossible to not have a lower 40-50% who are extremely poor.
But I would agree that communism is in no way the answer to this. Again corruption will pretty much always be present in government (because of the nature of people who have an overwhelming sense of power) and this would cause communism to fail every time. Plus, the goal of communism doesn't care about how many innocent people die in the process, it only cares about its goals.

communism =/= totalitarianism
also a lot of countries basically make use of all going against these things anyway regardless of "extremism" also since most capitalist countries are right-wing conservative you automatically gets ****ed anyway.

Eh, I'm not too sure about that. Sometimes the issues of parties and governmental structures don't even matter. It solely depends on who's at the top. In any form of government despite their pros and cons- left or right, whatever- if the top is corrupt, nothing matters. The government will fail the people and the country will turn into a hellscape.

I thought of an idea on how to regulate corporations:
Every large corporation should be required to pay exactly a large percentage (maybe 30% or more) of their income every year to the people who work for the businesses owned by the corporation. Those who don’t pay enough should pay a high tax that covers the rest of the expenses. Basically, there is a profit cap in terms of proportion. They should also close the loopholes and punish people who commit tax fraud. And if the CEOs shut down their entire corporation to avoid paying their employees or paying taxes, they will face life without parole. Basically, it’s a one-way route. This should also apply to unions since labor unions are extremely greedy.

According to Nintendo’s latest financial reports...
- Pok?mon Sword and Shield not only outsold Pok?mon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee, but they also outsold Pok?mon X&Y’s and Pok?mon Sun and Moon’s first-year sales.
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe becomes the first Nintendo Switch game to break the 20 million barrier. It’s current sale numbers is more than twice of Super Mario 64’s (the highest selling N64 game).
- The console sales data passes the SNES and four times the Wii U’s console sales. It’s also been on the market half as long as the GameCube was, yet the sales surpassed twice as much as the GameCube’s.

Everyone who played Pok?mon Sword/Shield are haters of some kind. They either hate the game for any reason, or they hate Martin’s Solrock and Alfie’s Wobuffet (two worthless helpers in Max Raid Battles).
I’m fine with being a hater if it’s against the lazy Pok?mon in Max Raid Battles.

This cancels out everything we've all been debating. Simplicity at its finest- I think I've been burned.
Thanks, Psydye.

Trump wasn’t even my original choice. Back in the 2016 primaries, I was fixed on Ted Cruz, as I was hoping he wins the 2016 Republican Primary. Granted, he is even more radical than Donald Trump, as he would’ve been harder on the more divisive issues than Donald Trump was, but at least he isn’t as mean or rude as Trump, and someone like Cruz is more fit for office since Trump is all about power and fame while Cruz is all about undoing Obama’s work. It would’ve been a bad idea to choose someone more right-winged than Trump, but I honestly lost all respect in the Democratic Party because of the Ferguson incident in 2014, and they’re still choosing to continue making bad decisions that would make me lose respect in them even more.
By the way Sheila, what’s your opinion on George W Bush? Is he better than Trump, or worse?

I dont really care. both sides have been in bed with each other for years. Its all one big wrestling promo
Well yeah it's the couch potatoes that cba voting that makes extremist win because extremists manage to get people together...
and yeah they probs doesn't care which is kinda sad also
@Apples; I'm def not a fan of the guy and especially some things he signed when it comes to healthcare and what happened with Al Gore. Although by that time Internet was not as bad as it was with all the crap with Trump so I'll give him that I suppose.
Well yeah we have the same issue here, and in Europe genereally so I'm not saying it's a specific country but the fact that some people doesn't vote here just because "lol don't care" mentality just irks me.
