The only reason that we are better off is because of the consistent march of science and technology

made possible by capitalism. where in the fucking hell do you think the money to fund these things came from? it came from taxes. taxes paid for by private business. the money didn't just come out of thin air. it had to come from somewhere, and it was taken from the private sector (that's capitalism, in case you're too stupid to connect the fucking dots)

along with the hard work of those on the left wing in trying to increase the lot of the working man.

yeah, that's why super left wing countries with no capitalism, like venezuela, cuba, north korea are doing so great right? you never go full retard. and you just did.

And as a tip to show a little maturity and intelligence, please start your sentences with a capital letter.

you're a fucking idiot with absolutely no historical knowledge and i don't respect you or give a shit what you think about me. people like you are the exact reason i don't give a shit that venezuela is a shithole with starving people right now. you all vote for left wing retards to try to run your lives and steal from business, it ends up going south and everyone ends up starving to death. well tough luck fuckface, you get what you deserve. and if you vote socialist, you deserve to starve. so no, i most certainly won't bother to capitalize any letters that i don't want to just to please an idiot like you.

i don't give a fuck about showing maturity on reddit. i give a fuck about having a grip on reality. and you have no grip on reality. go fuck yourself you motherfucking cocksucking piece of shit.
