You can fail under capitalism or be jailed if you fail under communism. Keep spouting those “the government takes care of you and yours” pipe dream though

Government aid is only necessary because of the failures of capitalism

That’s why so many famines occur whenever communism is attempted. Blaming the government on everything while also wanting to depend on it for everything is certainly a choice

I'm not blaming the government I'm blaming the free market

So to correct that you want to restrict the free market which can only be done by the government. And by not doing it enough in your eyes as much as other countries do/try… who else would be to blame? The government is also one of the biggest participants in this free market.

Government programs to help people afford basic necessities is not restricting the free market, it's countering the failures of it.

No one owes anyone a living. It’s up to you to survive. Personal failures aren’t governmental ones.

so the dream world you want is one in which the free market decides who gets resources and doesn't offer government assistance?

It's not a personal failure if the system doesn't work

Lol it’s easier than ever to become a millionaire at this point in history in this country. Stop projecting your personal failures onto society.

and even as a millionaire you are infinitely closer to homelessness than you are to being a billionaire.

Yes because it’s stupid. Government enforces the social contract it’s not an adult babysitting body.

I mean you can’t protect people from their own bad decision. I don’t see why that’s the governments problem.

okay great. so your dream world is admittedly one filled with impoverished people - including single mothers - more of whom will remain that way than now since they would have even less support. basically your dream world is the one you accuse shitlibs of dreaming of, minus the government assistance

No. Like I said, government can’t prevent people who cause problems for themselves. Single mothers didn’t fare any better in communist nations. They all promoted two-parent households. Being widowed is one thing but that’s far less common than the current degeneracy being promoted.

that doesn't contend with what i said my guy. your dream world is one in which people are not guaranteed assistance. many people who end up impoverished will have little to no chance of getting out of poverty because they're offered no guarantees of assistance. i'm not a communist so you can argue with them about that bud. how many single mothers are widows? i would guess not many
