Capitalism Rules, Socialism and Communism Suck Thread

[spoonitnow]

I have a friend whose nephew is a little hustler in the making, and he's like 10 or 11 or so. He started buying packs of like five Reeses or small Hershey bars for $1 at the store and was selling them at school for $0.50 apiece out of his book bag.

So get this fucking shit. He gets in trouble for it or whatever, and they have to have a parent-teacher conference. My friend's sister (the kid's mom) was there, and the principal was trying to explain to my friend's nephew how unfair it was for him to pay $1 for the pack of five pieces of candy and then to sell them for $0.50.

He was literally trying to tell him that it was unfair to buy and sell candy to people who were voluntarily making the exchange.

He was trying to tell him that capitalism is unfair.

Early in middle school a friend and I had the bootleg we were running out of our lockers busted. It was essentially the exact same story.
