Reason:
Con argues that true communism has never been tried, and Pro argues that the US is not capitalist, citing government intervention in healthcare and lack of bodily autonomy. I can grant both of those, which seems fair, since neither proposed system mirrors any country exactly. Pro argues that capitalism is synonymous with individual sovereignty. Given that Con doesn't really flesh out Marxism or dispute individual sovereignty being good, I think Pro did better here.
Yes, I just dont think we talk of same thing when we talk of Capitalism.
it's imaginable that how the democracies works and how the people are fooled in favour of interest of the ruling class. income inequality is at it's peak . is that all fair . I don't think so .
I m just saying that communism has never been achieved in it's true form as imagined by Karl Marx. Don't tell me that china , Vietnam, north Korea, Russia(former USSR) are communist states. they are just socialist dictatorships which are exploiting the poor brutally same as USA and Europe .Then u might have question then why living standards of the western world (capitalist ideology) are better than Asia and Africa where the communist ideologies are more relatable. My simple answer is imperialism . Asia and Africa have been exploited for hundreds of years for their resources . By exploitation the living standards of countries like china, India got worse. By using those resources the USA and western Europe feed their industries and got a head start in the race of prosperity but still the majority wealth is controlled by some crony capitalists.
