US was founded on Capitalism and is a basket case of rampant Greedy Capitalism, Slavery, War Profiteering and Bullying. It has always been the case and has never stopped. Ever since the British tried stopping George Washington from usurping American Indians’ land. The lofty ideals were mere veneer.
The only thing that has changed is that there are many more players in the field and US’ shortcomings as a modern society is getting apparent.
I don’t think that’s accurate. I cannot fathom why people think it’s necessary to say dramatic yet untrue things when they’re trying to get a point across. Sure, the main point you’re trying to make is true but when your opening statement is incorrect you’re just undermining your entire point.
The united states was not founded on capitalism because capitalism wasn’t a prevalent force. It was founded on slavery.

True; no notes.

This is an oversimplification of history. It makes for a powerful speech but it’s pretty garbage as far as convincing anyone who doesn’t already agree with you.
Ever since the British tried stopping George Washington from usurping American Indians’ land.
I’m gonna need a citation for this it’s entirely possible this is referencing something I’ve never heard of, but it’s also possible that it’s lionizing the British because “America bad”.
Capitalism is defined by the relationship of the employer and employee. Slaves aren’t employees. You’re just lumping every bad thing under “capitalism.”

I’m bored now. Critique over.
Slavery is the ultimate form of capitalism where humans are “securitized” into commodities/capital.
