so I came across the FB site Capitalism Kills and decided to take a look at what it has to offer. As quick is roadrunner fleeing coyote, I began to think of some rapid questions to those who espouse socialism. First, the FB site is at
https://www.facebook.com/capitalismkillsx/So here are those questions:
#1. So, in suggesting that workers should own the means of production as well as the owners of businesses, are you supposing that people who start small businesses (or any for that matter) will continue to do if they know that they will not be able to make the large profits they once could. If the wealth they can get is equal to or at least close to the wages that the workers make, what's the point of sticking your nose out to make a business only to have the wealth you created divided amongst those who didn't take that risk?
#2 As a side question, what are your plans for sports stars that make millions a year. Would you suggest their millions be divided amongst ..... who? Do you think such sports will continue to have people dedicate such effort to sports that don't pay the dividends they once did?
#3 Do you agree with secular humanist Manifesto number two that argues that Nationwide borders should be abolished? If so why do you have more faith in larger governments than smaller ones and do you think people's rights will be protected? Why?
#4 When we are kids we learn to be fair toward others but when we become adults we learn that life is not fair and we learn how to cope. Isn't your idea to make life fair a remnant of a childlike desire for all of life to be fair instead of being realistic?
#5 For the FB site maker, on one of your posts your suggest, via a question, that if someone feels capitalism doesn't work and you want socialism, then we must embrace a revolution. Why? Is that a tacit admission that your philosophy can't win the public's trust? Why do you believe that? is it something wrong with your socialist philosophy or what?
#6 Do you think Bernie Sanders should share the money he made on his book deal and AOC should share the money she's getting paid? How well do you think they would take this suggestion?
#7 Bernie Sanders, when he was interviewed by Fox news, agreed with a woman in the audience that socialism is about sharing. Is he for voluntary sharing or mandatory sharing? Is he, or did he, ever specify which he's in favor of? How would voluntary sharing work in our economy and isn't mandatory sharing a contradiction in terms?
#8 Why should I think your movement is nothing but an attempt to make America a grab bag that you can all sink your teeth into? Your own party supports free college. What is that but a big grab bag of free stuff?
