Brain-washed... [sucking up resources...] and so is Russia; so is China; so is EU. It is called The World. His solution: surrender to the rest. What does he think will happen to him?
I can predict that he is a climate change supporter: redistribute our wealth to 3rd world dictators in order to save the polar bears, etc. Logic?
Where do you start with such folk? Everyone else is good except us. He is welcome to ex-patriot himself if he wants someplace better.
Look, it is a global economy. The old saying is that when the U.S. sneezes the rest of the world gets a cold. Now that Trump is rebuilding our economy and equalizing trade, prosperity will spread to those who wish to participate. Can one say that about China? About Russia? . . . It is not a perfect world, but where is the proof that we are raping the rest of the world? e.g.: we buy Saudi oil and they are trillionaires... they can break that relationship if they wish... don't hold your breath.
Yeah. I agree completely. I used to wonder where he gets his ideas (he’s over 30) but the school system’s been communist for a long time. I just think you can expect to hear more of this talk. Sure, the economy’s doing great, but what about morality? Womp womp.

Resources obtained in a capitalist system are used to create even more resources and wealth.
This is the exact opposite of a socialist system, which destroys everything it touches, the ultimate cannibal.
Ironically, it is the very "Worker" the socialists worship that helps ensure this ... because why on Earth should they work?? It's like in the USSR where the people had a saying: "We pretend to work, and you pretend to pay us."
China's economy is now on the brink of collapse. This is INEVITABLE. COMMUNISM DOES NOT WORK (at least once the capitalist system throws off the parasite, as POTUS is now doing).
Sadly, most people do not really understand how capitalism works; but, suffice to say, if there is no incentive for CAPITAL (including debt leveraged against equity) to be put into a business, then the ONLY METHOD of BUSINESS FINANCE is CONFISCATION. (Tell your millennial friend to try passing the hat amongst their friends for capital without offering a return. They won't be able to finance a respectable hot-dog stand, much less a significant factory. SHEESH!)
Without the incentive to work, the ONLY METHOD of getting people to WORK, is SLAVERY.
Socialism = Confiscation of property + Slave Labor.
No exceptions.
It's past time to stop feeding the parasites and stop coddling ignorance.
