So, this is the back aisle of some old Coles somewhere in rural Queensland?
(That's a Coles sign describing whatever is in the next aisle)
I'm guessing they're out of toilet paper? What's the context of the photo?
Leaving aside the "socialism/capitalism" thing for a moment, is there something going on in Queensland leading to shortages of something? Or is this guy using a photo from 2020?
This is the sane response of a normal person. But sanity has near zero engagement. Soooo, obscure and unrelated macro-economic debates it is! Yay!!! 🙌
Capitalism is when the food on the shelves is expensive. Socialism is when the food is cheap but there's none on the shelf.
Roberts and his family moved to Australia in 1962
So this cunt grew up in an Australia far more socialist than any millenial could ever dream of and pulls this shit
Get in the sack
I wish people would realize it is neither socialism nor capitalism that leads to empty food shelves, but a lack of democracy.
Capitalism inevitably concentrates more wealth in fewer hands, it is fundamentally anti-democratic by design
I mean, that is why the Athenians used to tax the shit out of their upper class.
I'm no advocate for capitalism, but right now the most democratic countries on earth are ones that you would probably label "capitalist", although I would say they are more accurately labelled "mixed economies".
But again the problem isn't the economic system that leads to the lack of food. It's how much you concentrate power in the hands of a few people.

It's the economic system that is concentrating power in the hands of a few.
Delusional
and rights. pure democracy has its own issues. You need to spell out the rules that are not debatable.
Well we have had a fair serve of Malcolm, and it is vomit making, send him to a Gulag for a real taste of Real Politic
Malcolm believes he is the smartest guy in any room! Delusional fwit!
I hope he dies soon, and I hope it hurts the entire time
