Nick Freitas on "real" socialism

Look, you're never going to get "real" anything. Real capitalism has never been tried, either. All we have are these imperfect instantiations of socioeconomic theory, and though it may be hard to hear, one is objectively a better system than the other, and that's the system that better understands human nature, which is fundamentally more competitive and selfish than sharing and cooperative. Take another look at that infamous satellite picture of the Korean peninsula at night to see what I mean. And does this mean that capitalism is a perfect system? No, of course not. Capitalism comes with its own flaws, paradoxes, and pitfalls, but if you're not objective enough to see that capitalism is far superior to socialism in terms of quality of life, etc., then your head is shoved too far up your own ass for me to save you. 

Enjoy chewing those colon polyps.

It's hard to believe this is even a debatable point at this stage of human history. You've got to be AOC-stupid to think socialism will work in any way, shape, or form.

I saw this quote this morning, and it resonated:

"I don’t mind being Nelson Mandela because I’m doing it for a reason. We’ve got to save our country from these fascists, these lunatics that we’re dealing with. They’re horrible people, and they’re destroying our country."
