I know you`ve been told all your life that capitalism is good and west is spreading freedom and democracy , but that is simply not truth .
I don't believe things just because I am told them.
That is called an Appeal to Authority. I do not recognize any authority over my mind but my own.
You seem like you believe what you've been told though. Crony Capitalism is indeed bad. Yet it is also NOT a Free Market.
That is the truth.
Monopolies are also bad. Yet they cannot persist without government collusion, thus NOT FREE MARKET.
Not what people are telling me. Simple logic, and reason.
No appeal to emotion, no appeal to authority, just use my own mind and apply some rational thought.
Apparently I've done quite a bit more than you. So grab a mirror... read out loud what you just wrote me.
I have done extensive research on this topic. Extending well beyond Venezuela.
I've looked into Sweden and how it succeeded which was due to Laissez Faire by the way. I've also read tons of books and researched a lot of this subject at mises.org which has tons of articles, essays, and presentations on a lot of these topics going back many decades and based upon a lot of scholarly research.
Have you done this?
So do me a FUCKING favor. Stop assuming you know me, and what I do and do not know.
Focus on what YOU know.
