      They didn’t even live up to their own principles from day one. Yes they sold books at wholesale, but wholesale is just capitalism without a middleman, so they knew that capitalism is necessary to grease the wheels. Glad to see this thing grind to a halt.

      Capitalism is the only working system if you’re a rich person from the US, Canada or Europe. Anywhere else it causes death and destruction. The richest country in the world is not the US, nor is it any 1st world country. It’s the Democratic Republic of the Congo, whose mineral deposits alone are worth over $35 trillion. It’s GDP is incredibly small, yet it is the world’s richest country in natural resources. It is the world’s richest country in natural resources yet it has a poverty rate of 97%. And it is like this for all 3rd world countries. Africa is the richest continent on the globe. Africa is rich, Latin America is rich, India is rich, the Middle East is rich, Asia is rich. Only their people are poor, and the reason is because when you have a system built on nothing but maximizing profit, you will go out of your country to make as much as possible. You don’t go into countries that are poor in natural resources, you go into countries that are rich in them. This is the basis of imperialism- it is the highest stage of capitalism. The people in these countries are starving, dying of disease, fighting in wars cause by poverty. All of this is because of the exploitation of these countries by capitalists and capitalists alone.

      Calling him a "hippie" is an insult to hippies. Hippies are peace loving people who are anti authoritian. Communists like him are fascistic authoritarians and are the exact opposite of "anarchist." This clown doesn't understand what any of these terms means and went broke with someone else's money (he never earned a dime in his pathetic life) like all commies do.

If not how exactly is he justifying the business. What are his prices where does he source his beans and other products? What's his tax return look like, etc. I'm a capitalist and I believe that the free market is the best way to give everyone true equal opportunity, get the government out of propping up big business and keeping oppressive anti-free-market processes in place, I do believe in welfare and social security, but we shouldn't do anything more than making sure we don't let people die in the streets on a government level, and if we can keep the government out of welfare and social security that would be even better

    "Destroy fascism" stamped in a bag. Just to be fair, Fascist Italy was the first western country to recognise Soviet Union as a real country. Another fact was that Mussolini was one socialist before forming the ideology of fascism, Mussolini was even a member of the socialist party of the era, Mussolini also nationalised the industry mainly the foreign industry in Italian sole, initially the industry was privatised if the company wasn't giving returns or was needed in times of wars or instability, Mussolini took the enterprises to work as a state owned interprised. So singing "Bella ciao" is the same to say we want a thing that's similar or slightly different from the current thing we have.
