      Same, I can’t help but to think why these educational films stopped teaching kids. I’ve mainly obsessed over the social videos and the way men acted....feminists can only dream these boys existed today! The only difference I would want is the women be encouraged into the same fields they did men in this era and the equality we got with second wave feminism. When rights became equal for everyone; man, woman, white, black, gay or straight. Thing is larger city communities were at a fast rate becoming more and more diverse until certain government programs were established and that went down hill fast. I’m not sure what happened but self care, respect and expecting the best from the people we choose to be around disappeared. Single motherhood went up, divorce, promiscuity also increased std’s in both the gay and straight communities. Back then even suicide was inconceivable and so rare even in what we would consider the LGTBQ-XYZ community if it had existed then. The middle class started to become smaller and smaller. It’s curious isn’t it. What the hell happened? Don’t get me wrong women being just secretary’s isn’t ok but I can’t not acknowledge that men tend to choose things to work with and women tend to choose to work with other people. So who constructed the pay gap? Trick question the gender pay gap doesn’t exist...however back in the 50’s give or take 10 years, women did take on typical male jobs like journalism and photography and Dr. positions. Let’s not forget the first female millionaire was also black. I don’t know maybe we watch these videos because there was a quality to life that was chosen instead of assumed. This era (40’s, 50’s, & 60’s) didn’t get everything right but what they did get right is what this country needs desperately.

    Can you imagine a store owner making a deal to drive some of the local kids to their party? That's the real problem, it's not Socialism or capitalism, it's the dissolution of societal trust and community.

      Business owners used to have one business. Now they have a hundred and have no time to oversee it all blindly trusting managers who were trained in a school system which we trusted blindly and the management courses were never double checked by our brightest of society and whenever they are then the management is generally condemned ...

    Capitalism is also paying people and their time and effort they put into the product.
    For instance, a sandwich someone makes for you at a deli costs more then the components of the sandwich if you were able to buy them separately.
    Your are also paying the deli for their time and effort of preparing all the ingredients so they are ready for use and for the actual assembly of the sandwich.
    A vending machine soda or candy may cost more then the ones at the store, but the extra amount is the time and effort the person who fills all the vending machines put into having it conveniently available when and where you need it.
    It's also capitalism that allows you to buy your own candy and soda at the store and save money because you put in your own time and effort to purchase it from the store and carry it with you so you have it when and where you need it.
    In capitalism, the further down the line a product travels, the more expensive it is, because you are paying for all the peoples time and effort that went into making the product.
    For instance, it costs less to buy unstained furniture than a finished piece.
    You can save money but staining and finishing it yourself because the stain and finish cost less then the cost of the stain and finish and the amount of time and effort someone would have to put into doing it for you,
    In capitalism, we pay people for the time and effort (and skill) that is needed to grow, harvest. mine, build, transport, prepare, or supply a product.
    The free market allows competition so that the product produced is the best quality available for the amount the consumer is willing to pay.

      There's also a world of difference between a group of hippies happily living on an independent communal farm, and the mass (enforced) collective farming that was tried in the USSR and PR China.
      I'm generally more left-leaning, but I wonder if the issue is more with huge entities (I.e. countries or cooperations) rather than capitalism or socialism per se.

      Oddly enough the butcher does not supply the meat : the butcher cuts the meat up for the customer into individual order sizes. Farmer supplies the meat.
      Walmart literally supplies the meat by growing it from the ground up and delivering it down the supply chain to the customer.

      History proves this wrong. Smedley Butler proved this wrong, so doesn't the present military expanse of the United States. Capitalism developed from Imperialism, Colonization and Mercantilism - war and bloodshed were the primary tools allowing these systems/ concepts to flourish. The pattern continued when labor began to demand better treatment under Capitalism; bloodshed was the tool used to convince them to stop fighting.

    imagine if mr. brown was not in the business to worry only for his profit, but for the good of his community and the workers that create the products in his store.
    but that would be socialism, you see, and a terrible idea at this time and age. they'd rather the children in this video work themselves into the ground until they become so gnarled and beaten that the government can allow them to die from lack of medical care and access to medicines they need.
    because that's what's happening right now as I type this. Those children are the generation that are recently dead and dying because capitalism destroyed their lives.
