you can go on for days preaching about the pitfalls of capitalism. But look at
the hoards of poor people trying to get to Western nations? Amazing, huh?

I don't imagine too many want to go to North Korea 😞

Oh, I get it. the BLIGHT. But capitalism CAUSED it, right?

In North Korea and Cuba, there is no blight nor has there been one since goo goo Communsim took over.

So you and AThousandYoung don't have a link, right? Of course, not, because it isn't true.

Figures.

"troll troll troll your boat, gently down the stream"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)

The proximate cause of the famine was a natural event, a potato blight,[9] which infected potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, also causing some 100,000 deaths outside Ireland and influencing much of the unrest in the widespread European Revolutions of 1848.[10] From 1846, the impact of the blight was exacerbated by the Whig government's economic policy of laissez-faire capitalism.[11][12][13] Longer-term causes include the system of absentee landlordism...

The potato blight returned to Europe in 1879, but by that point the Land War, described as one of the largest agrarian movements to take place in 19th-century Europe, had begun in Ireland.[24] The movement, organized by the Land League, continued the political campaign for the Three Fs, issued in 1850 by the Tenant Right League during the Great Famine. When the potato blight returned in the 1879 famine the League boycotted "notorious landlords" and its members physically blocked evictions of farmers; the consequent reduction in homelessness and house demolition resulted in a drastic reduction in the number of deaths.

@wolfgang59 You mean if they grew less food they would be more successful?

Yes. We live in a supply v demand world, in case you haven't noticed.
With less produce, the cost goes UP ==> successful, in the $$$ sense.

You don't see Norwegians trying to move to the USA either. Why is that?

@athousandyoung said
So they weren't successful because they were too successful?

But their coming from dysfunctional capitalist nations that have suffered the double whammy of external exploitation by the capitalist west and internal exploitation by corrupt capitalist elites.
Sorry what point were you trying to make there earl?
Do you imagine that Marxists want to go to North Korea. You do know it’s a failed autocratic monarchist State earl?

I'm not particularly a fanboy of his, never was. But he is making great moves
here and there. He is now floating the idea of getting rid of the income tax,
permanently!! That'll make the dems scream.
