Answer my question. When were you talking about? When you said it was working better.
You replied to my post to someone else concerning capitalism and outsourcing. And I said capitalism still works when you can't outsource (labor to poor countries). Thus, you don't need such exploitation for it to work.

You said it worked at a certain time before all that international outsourcing was happening.

When? When was it working better? Answer the question. Pre-1900s? Pre-1950s?

You guys refer to current capitalism as late-stage capitalism, and hate it for some reason. Are you guys saying early-stage capitalism doesn't work either?

Also, what better system do you have that's better than capitalism?

That's some nice avoiding answering the question you've got there.

"late-stage capitalism" is an aspirational goal; if it is late stage now, it can be gone in the near future.

"doesn't work" is a misnomer. Capitalism works. Serfdom works. Slavery works. But for whom? Capitalism works for the employer. Serfdom works for the lord. Slavery works for the master.

Also, what better system do you have that's better than capitalism?
communism. it works for the people.

I didn't call it that. Now when were you talking about? You were the one who made the claim that it was working better at some point.
