      Funny side note I think the problem with both systems is lazy people not doing what they should.

      I won’t go over the example for how lazy people could effect socialism because I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times before.

      I skip straight to capitalism.

      People don’t vote with their dollar like they should. Everyone hates Walmart, they still shop at Walmart. Everyone hates child slavery, they still buy chocolate. Women want real pockets in their clothing, they still buy clothing that does not have pockets.

      I’m lazy too in that way. I don’t shop at Walmart, and I don’t really like chocolate… But I hate how shitty airlines are… When I fly tho, I buy the cheapest ticket on the cheapest airline. Every single time.

      That’s the problem with capitalism. I’m lazy, we’re all lazy.

      Yes someone explain my poor phrasing. They even mentioned the word I mentioned but I forget.

      I’m not the capitalist version of a tanky.

      I believe the concept of capitalism could work, and I believe it would work better than socialism. Another common ground I have with socialist is that I understand the examples of my preferred… Arrangement of society have been corrupted and not run under the ideas they claim.

      That’s what I mean by common ground and that’s where I sympathize. I wouldn’t want someone pointing at trump and saying “that’s capitalism!” And I would never point at Kim jun un and say “that’s socialism”

      I also understand the “ideal, pure, perfect implementation” of either idea probably isn’t possible.

      I lean more to capitalism.

      That’s what I meant when I said “I’m a capitalist” I misspoke.
