The wealth gap in our capitalistic USA is greater than its been since the 1930's. This is the result of a purely capitalistic society, which is an obvious problem for humanity. I hope it should be clear why having a huge gap between the wealthy and the poor is not the ideal way to have a functional society. This of course results in horribly abusive and inhumane treatment for hard working people. It results in a system that is unfair and unjust.
I do not understand the mentality of hardcore right wing extremists who insist that capitalism works. This idea must just have been crammed into their heads since they were young, and they don't seem able to comprehend just how stupid and problematic this philosophy is.
There is an irrational paranoia from the right to compare socialist policies to horribly abusive regimes like Russia or China. The connection between socialism and these regimes is simply non-existent. It seems like right wingers have just been programmed to believe that socialism results in an abusive regime, and this is simply false. Socialism is not the same thing as communism. They are very different ideologies.
People deserve the right to live in a world where they can pursue liberty and happiness without having it stolen from them by the people on the top. People deserve to keep what they earn through hard work. Capitalism, despite what right winged people will tell you, does not achieve this. Rather capitalism allows a small few to live highly immoral and greedy lives at the expense of the entire country.
I get angered by the irrational ideas present on the right. I would hope that these people please rethink their views. I see them all the time online, advocating absolute insanity and garnering shitloads of support in doing so. They are thoughtless, and driven by emotion over rationality. I hope to reason with them, but in my experience reasoning with an extremist is futile. I'll try to do what I can to change things around.
