OH, by the way, if you ever come across some idiot who believes "Capitalism is freedom" remind them that South America exists.
Argentina, for example, endured a decade of brutal, US backed millitary dictatorship in the 70's to maintain capitalism. THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE were kidnapped, tortured and murdered, most of the bodies werenever found.
We, from the south, endured it, so the american capitalists could enjoy their profits, and for the US middle class to enjoy better living standards.
