Do you support capitalism?

[Karpatsky]

Too vague/politicized a term to give a meaningful answer. If you mean simply the legalization of free enterprise, then yes. If you mean an economic system which structurally favors controllers of capital rather than other factors of production, then not under modern circumstances.

[Karpatsky]

Also using the USSR to make an argument for capitalism, would be like using Hati (of the past) as an argument for the slave trade.

...what?

Many people cite the economic failure of the USSR as if it is the only argument needed to show capitalism is 'good'. The point is that this is a flawed argument because it isn't a binary, like arguing that the failure of Haiti is evidence that they would be better off as slaves.
