Different forms of capitalism

Isn't that just...regular capitalism?

Ah yes, because all of the leaders of socialist nations were just capitalists in disguise and they started revolutions for their own gain rather than the people's.

This is what liberals believe, not socialists. Get real.

How do you feel about China raising 800+ million people out of poverty?

Does this one example seem like a thing a capitalist country would be capable of doing?

In order to have more success with educating people, just chill out and let people have their fun, you won't educate anyone if come across as a smug asshole who acts like they think they're much more intelligent than the person you're talking to. People aren't always rational and sometimes will only listen to "someone they could have a beer with."

It would be great if solid intellectual discourse was the only thing needed, but unfortunately you need a friendly face first, the rest can come later. So sometimes you have to bite the bullet and reference the Harry Potters and capeshit just to get your foot in the door.

This has nothing to do with what you just posted, I just thought it might be good advice. Though sorry about it being completely unsolicited, I'll totally understand if that just pisses you off, it is pretty rude and presumptuous of me.
