    You clearly have never read anything about it, so I’d be curious to know specifically which part of socialist theory you disagree with.

    Everyone hates uncontrolled capitalism

    Yeah, that’s capitalism. By definition, capitalism demands to be uncontrolled and without rules to bring the most profit. So when you’re done pulling stuff out of thin air, let us know

      In that case why do we have so many good examples of regulation in capitalist systems, the most effective being the “Scandinavian model” countries which effectively blended large amounts of socialism into a capitalist system and enjoy the best health and happiness rates in the world?

      Indeed there is no such thing as an unregulated capitalist economy anywhere in the world. They all have staggering amounts of regulation.

        I have definitely read enough to not write something as incoherent as

        No…not everyone hates capitalism. Everyone hates uncontrolled capitalism

        and just proving the OP’s post right.

        I think you need to read more of the theory.

        I truly could not care less about the opinion of someone like you who is defending capitalism with such passion in these comments

          You know there is a lot of great points in this comment, some of which I will now argue against:

          You should read the theory, clearly you haven’t read enough theory.

        Oh so now we’re moving the goalpost?

        We started with “socialist theory is the problem!” but when pressured, suddenly it’s “well the theory is not really the problem”.

        Go figures
