Capitalism is not 'an economic system' but an occurrence that may happen in particular sorts of economic environments. Furthermore, capitalism was never 'devised'.
there are only so many socialist problems in the world that remain to be solved
What do you mean?
The world is gradually becoming more capitalist, and sufficiently economically free countries never ever fight wars amongst themselves.
Yeah, they collaborate with massive businesses to overthrow the governments of 'insufficiently economically free' countries and install rightist dictators who will then give those businesses favourable treatment as foreign investors.
Looking forward to your denial or pallid justification of the above.
Yes of course a Friedmanite would try to shift the focus away from large corporations. No, let's not focus on corporate welfare, it's those bastard unions, non-profits, etc. that are the real problem.
Yes, precisely like the term "useful idiot". Both are cop-outs that are thrown around to trash entire groups; "they're just [bogeyman term here], ignore them or laugh at them and cheer when they get their skulls split open by police batons".
But it really takes an imbecile to believe that ows could spring into existence fully formed, complete with a slick web site and well orchestrated publicity.
What, is this the same movement that has been criticised a million times for not being organised, having no leadership, and having "no clear message"? Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
LordLimecat lives in a fantasy land where all parties have equal exposure and corporate malfeasance is Absolutely Not A Thing and massive businesses cannot sway elections or influence the government in any way.
Obviously a scare-term that imbeciles have made up on the spot to 'justify' cracking down on protests & activists who don't cheer about rampant corruption between the government and the financial sector.
Then you must have never even heard of Liberia, DR Congo, Rwanda, and so on...
Anyway, what's your justification for that extreme claim with religious undertones? Is it that you can't imagine worse horrors than what has been documented of NK? Believe me, worse horrors exist.
What is 'properly-used C++'? First the essential C++ advocacy catchphrase was 'don't use the bits you don't like', now it's 'you're not using it properly'.

They do not and never have had a capitalist society.
You appear to be suffering from delusion.
Capitalism is not 'an economic system' but an occurrence that may happen in particular sorts of economic environments. Furthermore, capitalism was never 'devised'.
Aye, not capitalism, but entirely congruent with it.
These things involve using force to get an economic advantage, rather than producing a product that free people choose to buy
You describe markets there, not capitalism..
Now now, there's no place for that Class Warfare!!!! in Murrika.
By which exotic extrapolation method did you reach 'the left!' from his or her post?
How about Academi et al.? It and its employees seem unprincipled enough.
The far-left Democrats [sic] who have captured the party
Republicans believe in protecting the middle class
Mate, I'm sorry to inform you that you're totally fucking mental.
Excuse me sir; did you just imply that the US has an actual left wing on its political spectrum?

Check it out, it was formed by the anarchist group Adbusters
OK. Now, what's the problem there?

But here you are practicing the exact opposite of humility and skepticism.
We're talking about "the closest thing you can get to 'hell on earth'".
Liberia also doesn't change, or perhaps it is getting worse as time goes on.
Oh well, North Korea is a shite autocratic neo-Stalinist dictatorship. There is no disagreeing with that. But it is not "The worst place on earth!!!".
Smith was not a capitalist.
It is the US who proved to the entire world that this model is a recipe for economic success
Until it irredeemably goes tits-up.
Then you must have never even heard of Liberia, DR Congo, Rwanda, and so on...

asinine ideologies such as fascism, luddism and socialism
Automation of industry is socialism's best friend. And it is indeed a Good Thing.
'Pointer math' where it is clear = good. Silly, opaque code = bad.
Truth is that C++ commonly outperforms C
It depends.
it's much easier to model, understand and optimize at the algorithm level
What. No it isn't.
Pair of insane, rambling commenters.
Most languages are doing just fine without operator overloading.
