[Karl Marx HATED the middle class.

He HATED them.

You can NOT use any of Marx’s ideas to help the middle class.

But you middle class Marxists just love your Socialism.]

EXACTLY. Communism/socialism abhors a middle class. This is why the elite have been attempting to destroy ours for over a generation.

Can we talk about how badly this was written in general or are we limited to the fact that that the presentation of capatilism is completely inaccurate?

[it’s because they think our current economic system, capitalism, will cease to exist by the time they are in their 60s.]

And they are fully on board with it the fools.

Thank you Marxist professors.

TEEN VOGUE is an outlet for Marxism, anti-Americanism, HATE and extreme left propaganda.

Trade in one form or another has been with man since and before "The medieval Silk Road brought a wealth of goods, spices, and new ideas from China and Central Asia to Europe. In 1346, the trade also likely carried the deadly bubonic plague that killed as many as half of all Europeans within 7 years, in what is known as the Black Death."

The "millennials" seem to eager play it safe, let someone else carry their water...they have never known war torn years, because inherently Capitalism has protected them with freedom. Heaven help them if they throw freedom away.

IMHO, Capitalism is the Purest expression of Human Nature. It is the Natural state of Man.

There’s good and bad, but the bad is self correcting and the good is rewarded.

The Left fears Capitalism because they fear the BAD in themselves. They don’t trust others because the don’t trust themselves.

Capitalism requires Faith.

Faith in oneself and their fellow man.

The Left has no foundation for Faith in either, or at least, they don’t think they have or should need to have.

“Teen Vogue” should organize group tours of teens to tour thorough out Venezuela to show how superior a socialist dictatorship is compared to capitalist America ...

What is the difference between capitalism and socialism?

capitalism:You work for your keep

socialism:You expect others to work for your keep

IMO, they fear\hate it for one reason alone: Freedom.

It is Freedom that allows both good\bad, but it is also the repercussions of said action(s).

If there are no repercussions, there can be neither good nor bad. Hence Freedom cannot be promoted from the Left. They don’t believe in any ‘truism’ aside from the almighty STATE.

Only free people have the incentive to create prosperity; slaves don’t. The article also ignores the fact that governments with the power to control production become invariably corrupt by the greed of those with the control. Human nature is the bane of socialism.

No, not Freedom itself, but their own Insecurity and the Uncertainty freedom provides.

We are seeing more and more Academics and Leftist groups fighting for their right to be Ignorant/Uncertain. They are advocating that virtually everything is relative, that everything we know is a construct of a White Patriarchy.

The second sentence obviates the damned article. It’s called CAPITALISM, not laborisom. Without CAPITAL labor is useless.

Haha, this is so pathetic. They stopped printing their magazine after their teen guide to anal sex was published.
Do they really think teens are going to stop taking selfies and going on social media to read articles on how to be a communist?

"It assumes that people are naturally cooperative, instead of competitive."

And there you see one of it's many fundamental flaws. People have always been more prone to competition and usually only cooperate in small family or tribal groups that directly affect them. The reason why Capitalism works is because it nurtures peoples natural competitiveness and focuses it in productive ways that tend to benefit the overall society.

Capitalist critics of socialism believe that the system slows economic growth, rewards worker laziness, and can stifle individual rights and free

Socialism – effects:

universal wage and price controls
increases in quantity demanded
decreases in quantity and quality of supply
shortages
rationing
hoarding
endless waiting lines
massive black markets
failure of centralized planning and bureaucratic management
anarchy of production
socialist quota system
technological backwardness
economic chaos in distribution and production
decreased or paralyzed individual initiative to make improvements
economic stagnation, decline, and decay followed by increased poverty and economic collapse
increased exploitation and powerlessness of plain citizens
tyranny, forced labor, terror, and mass murder
aristocratic privilege and court society for leaders and their favorites
