Every time something goes wrong in the world – poverty, hunger, inequality – someone from the far left stands up and shouts:
“Down with capitalism! We need something new! Or at least more socialism!”
And I just sit there thinking:
“Have you ever actually thought about this for five minutes?”
Capitalism isn’t perfect – but it’s the only system that actually works.
There is no other system on this planet that:
- drives economic progress
- pushes technology forward
- even creates wealth in the first place, before we can even talk about distribution
Socialism?
Tried it a hundred times – failed a hundred times.
Making everyone equally poor is still a form of equality, I guess.
Printing money as a solution? Whoever says that clearly doesn’t get it.
I keep reading and hearing people say:
“Why not just print more money? We’re a rich country after all!”
Seriously?
Then explain to me why Venezuela collapsed under millions of percent inflation.
Why Zimbabwe used cash to light fires.
Why not a single poor country in the world has ever gotten rich by printing money.
Because money only has value when it’s backed by performance, structure, and trust.
Not by ink and paper.
All of this is just nonsense spoken by slackers and freeloaders who clearly have never done a proper day’s work. Otherwise, you'd never come up with such a detached-from-reality idea.
The system isn’t the problem – the way we use it is.
Capitalism can work.
But only if it’s not used as a machine for exploitation –
but as a tool, one that comes with rules, morals, and limits.
What does that mean?
- Rich people? Sure. But if you’re sitting on 100 million and your family is set for life,
- Companies like Amazon, Facebook, Apple? They shouldn’t be able to register a mailbox in Ireland and dodge taxes.
then it’s time to pay serious taxes. Period.
Global, standardized tax regulations – and the problem is solved.
Taxes aren’t theft. They are a contribution to stability.
And before someone cries “envy debate” –
this isn’t about hating the rich.
It’s about building systems that benefit everyone, not just the top 0.1%.
- Build infrastructure
- Create opportunity
- Invest in education, healthcare, safety
Not handouts. But real opportunities.
As the saying goes:
Don’t give the beggar a fish – build him a boat, give him a net, and make sure he can fish.
Conclusion: The system can stay – but the character of the people must change.
What we need is not another utopian economic experiment dreamed up by ideologues.
We need more responsibility, more fairness, and more honesty.
Capitalism works.
But not if it’s rotted by greed, loopholes, and ignorance.
And certainly not if we believe that helping people just means printing colorful money and hoping for the best.
Spoiler: It won’t work.
