Description

BOP is shared.

This will be treated as a normal debate, but both sides must write their arguments in the form of a rap. (Doesn’t have to be good, just try and make it rhyme and flow.)

Definitions:
Laissez-Faire Capitalism- An economic philosophy of free-market capitalism that opposes government intervention.

Communism- A system in which the means of production are owned communally and private property is nonexistent or severely curtailed.

Altruistic- Showing a disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others; unselfish.

Rules:
1. Neither side will be judged on rapping ability. But both sides have to present their arguments in the form of a rap.

2. BOP is shared.

Raise poverty with exploitation.

Work drains the life from you through slavery.

Here comes greed and wealth contamination

Causing the unsavory moral degradation

Your job stability is slipping now.

Issues be making you lose sanity.

Staying strong is a way, that’s your new vow.

Corruption is a liability.

Get with the game before it becomes late

Bring home the wages or they’re stolen.

You want to help the poor

By punishing the rich

What for?

Is the freedom starting to ich?

When you take from the rich

You harm the poor

They lack education

In the end

what you get is

a worse situation

Stealing other people's money is rude

Poor people in capitalism have food

Destroy the system and nothing is left

The wealth redistribution is just mass theft

So where is your example

of communism helping the poor

And improving the situation

Show us the one that didnt end in starvation

Communism, equality is the goal.

All the groups get their discrimination.

Follow policies to save people’s souls.

No special privilege or exceptions.

We abide by all the laws mindlessly.

No starving or crying persecution!

Big Brother is saving lives ruthlessly.

Rebellion is met with execution.

Resources and their allocation.

I want everyone in the rotation.

Hope you all wanna starve

Here we go

I gonna use some communist revolution

On capitalists we will all spit

And tear up our country to shit

A system that failed 100 times in a row

But it doesnt matter

as long as the capitalists blow

We will all be prosperous like North Koreans are

Communism is what killed the USSR

And in 100 years killed 100 million people

None of this matters

As long as we have our union of the sheeple

"Definitions:

I am not really sure what to do with this definition. Could you change it to something like "opposing government intervention in the free market".

Reason:

Interesting rap battle. I voted the way of Con. Pro started weak, I think. His rhymes were bad and choppy. Con started off spitting fire with good points and decent rhymes. To bad it fizzled out at the end. I was looking forward to it finishing. I was impressed Best-Korea's abilities. I know Sir Lancelot can "bust out" bars all day. Good show to both!
