It seems some people are waking up to how capitalism works.

"If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism"

"North Americans don't understand... that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity"

Good on them, the only way we can get rid of capitalism is if the people wake up to its true form and how it works through their opression.

Meh. The answer isn't to eradicate capitalism, and the left wing leaders of Latin America recognize that. The answer is to make sure that it works for the people.

Any government will fail when the leaders are corrupt.

Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, etc...

When the government takes care of the rich and big business better than the middle class and small business, the government will eventually fail.

Right now, in the USA, the Republicans take better care of the rich and big business.

For the moment yes, because they must, but capitalism will always produce inequality and this must eventually be eradicated, but at the moment these nations must work within a capitalist world. And a world dominated by an agressive power who, it can be proven historically, would rather have an opressive right-wing power than a democratically elected and popular moderate left-wing government in other nations.

Both the mainstream parties higher reps are mostly corrupt. They are not worried aout helping the rich or big business, just keeping their jobs/or getting better ones, getting more power, and getting cash.

Yes and that inequality is not a bad thing either. I would not want it to be irradiated. The people that work and make good decisions should not be equal to those that are lazy. I doctor with a 10-year degree should not be equal to the mail man.

It doesn't work like that. "Capitalism" (a buzz word) doesn't "always" produce anything. Nor does "socialism."

Human caprice comes along and fcks and system with a broomstick.

There is no such thing as in immoral economic system. Just immoral people who manipulate it for their own good.

Possibly, but whilst socialism recognises this capitalism does not. Yes, I know a socialist leader can be corrupt but then that leader is not socialist at all, so socialism is not to blame.

Socialism doesn't recognize anything at all.

You can't ascribe human characteristics to a non sentient idea.
