That’s not true at all. How about a dislike for injustice and exploitation? Or how about a disagreement that the ‘money they earned’ was earned ‘unjustly’?

😂 lol

I’ve been binging on socialist content 😂

The fundamental flaw in Sowell’s statement is the assumption that all of the money “you earned” is earned fairly.

How about if you cheated someone, took advantage of others, exploited someone vulnerable? Is it ‘socialism’ that is at fault here for not remaining quiet about it?

There is a fundamental flaw in capitalism (not suggesting socialism is without flaws also), is that the primary goal is the acquisition of profit and capital. That inherently leads to exploitation when exploitation is the only way to make a profit.

It also ignores the fact that the owners of capital have an advantage over those who don’t, and that with that wealth, they have the captaincy to influence the market in their favour. You can explain it away to be ‘crony capitalism’ but how can it be any other way without Islam?

Capitalism says nothing about morality, just a dawinian view of “dog eat dog” world. Make money at all cost. That, by definition, means exploitation is an inevitable end result. How can it be any other way without strict moral rules that prohibits exploitation.

The flaw of Lenin & Marxist socialism is the desire to remove private property as a whole (not personal property). Both sides miss the middle Path due to the absence of divine guidance.
