I think the reasons for the violence are more than just the unemployment rate, but I do think that is the main reason. I mean, 40% dependending on race and ethnicity? And everyone thought America was the home of racism and inequality...

Anyone who thinks that America is the home of racism and inequality is retarded, and needs to learn more on South Africa.

Socialism is a pretty sweet idea as long as you don't screw it up.

Strangler, you can have your capitalism. Whatever. I don't care.

I'm going to go over here and farm potatoes.

Hey now, I support the capitalism scum.

Its capitalism that made me wealthy.

The system hasnt screwed me over, therefore, Capitalism is my benefial friend.

You can farm your potatoes, yes. But just wait until I buy your land and services from you and then whore out your work like a hooker sucking a golfball through a garden hose.

Unfortunately its impossible not to screw it up, because its that flawed. In theory, wonderful, but thats because it doesn't take the fact that human beings will be running it.

Well maybe if we weren't all so corrupt.

But that won't ever happen.

But the idea of humans not being corrupt is unrealistic. Which is why democracy works.

Its not about corruption, its about incentive, drive, self-worth and desire. Socialism becomes corrupt because it doesn't take any of these concepts into effect.
