Never wanted so much to downvote something in my life. Capitalism has been riddled with issues and only just fixed itself with socialists solutions (regulating market, dismantling monopolies, social security, unemployment funds, stop segregation and abolish slavery, public services and housing...). You're living in a Battle Royale and thinking it's how it should be because, heck, you got free candies and you can "survive" on them (that is before catching diabetes).
I guess I have a different perspective because Iived in the real existing socialism.
But fair enough, the upper picture with the rainbow does not really reflect the real existing capitalism.
As much as you think you "live in socialism", your complain will most likely come from autoritarianism, productivism and global market/warfare issues. In the same way, socialism, communism and variants like socialist capitalism are a lot different, and people don't always make a difference between them.
So you are bottom panel?
And you are the "very intelligent" guy. You can crawl back inside the well, thanks.
So, the person that you called out said they’ve lived through socialism and you come back with that’s not true socialism.
You’re panel 2
