Okay, North Korea is authoritarian/dictatorship, it's also capitalist. More specifically since i am calling them (china and north korea) it's more specifically state capitalist. Which essentially means the government pulls the strings heavily regarding the economy

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Rather than CEO's handling the company themselves with their digression for the most part (exuding regulations), China and Korea can effectively say, fuck all, do what we want since we said so.

He's trolling you, @Reual. I thought that was pretty obvious, @WiiMiiSwitch is the poll meister. Shitposting outside of EOF, as funny as it is, should be kept to a minimum WiiMii - just thought I should point this out before it develops into multiple pages of flailing again.
Sadly, I've seen so much shit on this website that I honestly cannot tell the difference between trolling and a genuine post, keep in mind on other threads, I'm dealing with anti vaxxers, or some other conspiratorial bull crap.

I realise that, which is why I'm pointing it out to you. Know thy lord's mercy, as they say. :teach:

So capitalist China is buying up a bunch of houses and land in Latin America, and the capitalist governments down there are just letting it happen, right?

Here in Latin America, we don't have a capitalist govern, nor a cummunist one. What we havehere is a fight between the powerfull countries. For example: USA literraly told us if we accept the Russian vaccine, they will break all the economic deals. In the another hand, China is buying a lot of land here, most energic enteprises are Chinese now, so, we are hostages of them, 'cause they can simply turn off everything.

Brazil, in the books, always are capitalist, but this isn't really true. Between 2002 - 2018 a socialist party was in the charge for here, they made a lot of "public" policies, just for remain in power. A lot of poor people who really need this acistancy was denied. In the last presidencial election, a capitalist win but all the others parts of the govern still comunist. This is just a mess, because there is a fight of interests, the president can't do nothing because all the other polliticans are against him and the other pollicts can't do anything because the president didn't sign their laws. In the final, the people is who are fu**ed.

The CIA has been making damn sure that Central and South America remain friendly and receptive to US interests for roughly a hundred years now. That's why any socialists that remain aren't really allowed to wield any power. Frankly I wouldn't even be surprised if it turns out they birthed Bolsonaro in a test tube and raised him in a vat of nutrients as a partial Trump clone.

"I get a lot of crap for saying that china only has about 70 years of history, but the truth of the matter ist that..."

I didnt even make it to the core argument, before closing my browser tab.

Thank you very much for clarifying this.
Google: Was brazil ever communist?

>No. Brazil is not, has never been, and has never even been close to being a Communist country.

Why say thank you to BS?

Brasil has been a liberalist utopia for some europeans liberal inteligencia in the 1960s - but thats about it...
Having said that, we must bear in mind that, in the last years of his exile, Zweig looked for other places, besides fin-de-siècle Vienna, to locate both his ethical commitment and his utopia. While Europe, engaged in a suicidal war, did not offer many possibilities or future hopes, South America, and especially Brazil, were something else. From his very first visit to the country in 1936, Zweig was enthralled by the beauty and potentialities of the land, and so in a way he started projecting all his hopes and dreams onto this, for him, «new found land». The result of this fascination was to be one of his last and most polemic works, Brazil. A Land of the Future (Brasilien. Ein Land der Zukunft), published in 1941 simultaneously in four languages (Portuguese, French, German and English). As we will see later, it was met both with the highest praise and the harshest of criticisms, either as a tribute to Brazil from one of the most prominent European authors of the time or as a work of propaganda financed by the government of the dictator Getúlio Vargas.

Never trust a rightwing temper. You guys make me sick.

Do you think just because the US ultra right fringe is unable to differenciate between socialism and communism, you can simply post lies and get away with it?

Here is a gbatemp argument.

"Me country very shit, because we had socialists, currently we have ultra conservative market liberalists, but, country still shit, because too many communists still in government".
"Thank you for your insights."

Please wear your baseball hats sideways from now on - for it to adequately represent your "deliberating capacity".

edit: History of the socialist movement in Brazil:

edit2: Brazil is the large thing south of you. What do you learn in school these days? How to crack beer bottles with your teeth and 10 hillbilly survival tips, that will make the south americans jelly?

"My father tells me, that the problem with my country is, that there are still too damn many communists in the gouverment" - might be an excuse, but please - would you mind checking stuff like this, before spreading it around?

As part of the discussion about communism and capitalism, its comparison, contradictions and so on, it seems to me that it is very important to talk about one of the biggest problems of modern capitalism and society as a whole. This is human trafficking. On the site https://studyhippo.com/essay-examples/human-trafficking/ I have read a lot of useful information about human trafficking and I understand how global and serious it is for the entire population of our world.

It's a nice video.
