    You stating I’m wrong about something when you don’t understand something doesn’t make my argument invalid.

      This is the same way that a (straw man) communist would argue: “it wasn’t true communism, we still haven’t tried true communism” based upon whatever ideal definition they have in their (fictitious, straw man) head.

      I don’t even have to know the content of the argument when it’s couched in rhetoric like this to know that it’s a warmed over brick of dog shit.

        No, capitalism is capitalism I’m not saying there’s a better version of it out there and that we haven’t tried it yet what I’m saying is that the government is in bed with a lot of these companies and because of that what we currently have is being poorly managed

          Which you’re trying to say is not capitalism…but that’s capitalism.

          We didn’t switch to socialism or some other economic system because we’ve, in your words, “poorly managed” our economic system. It’s still capitalism we’re running even if it’s in your opinion “poorly managed”.

            Venezuela wasn’t socialist until it became socialist. I’m simply pointing out the country is moving in a bad direction. Before there was a balanced government and capitalist system now it’s less so.
