Search Results: extreme poverty

Democracy and communism both have their flaws and loopholes, in Democracy the elite section controls the people and make people believe that they can one day afford lavish lifestyle but its not true because this 1% people who have all the wealth will make you suffer in the hands of government machinery, while in communism your potential to grow and your right enjoy life at its fullest is encroached upon, but although there are some positive thing about communism like everybody would be on the same level and nobody would suffer as the state owns all the resources and so there will be no question of monopoly by the elites on that front but again the supreme authority who may be a dictator or elected government representative he may misuse the power as he will be having control over all the resources. as i grew up in Democracy i don't like the idea of communist government as I heard they crumble the freedom of speech and the economy also suffers, but as I see extreme rich areas in my country and I see extreme poverty in other part, plus I see that the hardworking is not really rewarded in democracy as the state isn't really working for the benefit of the people... What do you guys prefer?

I notice how Americans love to defend all forms of Capitalism with a passion (as if Capitalism as a whole is a completely flawless, perfect system), even if that form of Capitalism is Cronyism where Large, power-hungry corporations can exploit poverty or low income people (going as far as trying to profit from basic human needs), and put smaller businesses out of business using their overwhelmingly unfair advantages over them. God-forbid you give even a minor criticism of Capitalism without being called a "Communist" or "Socialist"(words that Hardcore Right-wing Americans love to throw at people whenever someone slightly disagrees with them on economic systems) by a few ignorant or stupid Americans.

Just because there are one or two things of Capitalism that I disagree with, doesn't mean that I'm automatically a "Commie Scum" or a "Socialist". I still like the Capitalist system and agree with the vast majority of its aspects. I just strongly disagree with the anti-consumer, power and money-hungry, and constitutionally abusive (where corporate people try to get into politics and try to limit the Freedoms of Americans as they see fit as long as it benefits themselves and their corporate businesses) aspects of Capitalism, which I believe the "free" market needs some degree of government regulations (Net Neutrality is a perfect example of regulations of a free market that I believe in).

As much as I hate the government being heavily involved in everything, I also hate greedy, power-tripping Crony Corporations being heavily involved in everything (especially the U. S. laws and constitution).

Allow me to explain (sorry for the essay)

Recently I watched a documentary called "Reggie Yates Extreme" on Netflix and it's about how a lot of White people in South Africa are now suffering the effects of poverty and racism that their older generations afflicted onto the Black people.

For example, according to the show, a White person is actually 5x less likely to get a job if there is an equally qualified black person applying too (the government have been pushing to get more black people instead of white)

Also, there are a LOT of racial hate groups against whites, calling for all kinds of things, from enslaving the whites to actually killing them all.

The hate groups' reason for wanting to kill Whites is that their ancestors were racist so now it's "their turn" to be the masters. Even though some of people that they want to kill and enslave weren't even born in the Apartheid era, and are not racist.

So you could say that a lot of black people are being just as racist as the White people, and what good does that do anyone? But then you could also say that the Black people there deserve this after generations of racism...

What do you think?
