Venezuela doing very well for food. If you like eating family pets, that is.
There are plenty for whom the gig economy is a good idea. | | | |

It is immaterial to the argument.
No System is perfect but Capitalism is far better than the alternatives as has been shown by history.
Even China is using Capalistic Communism. | | | |

The thread title is "The free market model has failed"
It is failing/ has failed. A well regulated capitalism would be better for nations. China is utilising a mixed system and laws/regulation which are often adjusted to react to things it does not like. |  |

Yep, it works for the rich and powerful but there never was any trickle down, it was always a myth. The lie was pushed to keep the workers working for the bright bfuture that most would/will never see.
Of course, the other choices haven't worked either. Doe anyone have any new ideas? | |

I'm sure it did and I'm well aware the system is flawed.
Loach has Loach in mind and nobody else though. Blasts Israel yet his films shown there, making him money.
Any film Loach does is always going to be slanted. Not like he's going to show, for example, someone like residents from Benefit Street making no effort to work, advised on how to milk the system. | | | |

The fact is that as a 'rich' country we have so many homeless, so many food banks, and so many uneducated. and that says to me that 'capitalism' or whatever you want to call it has failed and now run its course. |  |

No problem with that.
Problem is his continual anti-Israel comments, some of which have been antisemitic yet is happy to make money from films shown in Israel, then blames distributors when that is found out.
It's the double standards tbh. Like Stephen Hawking wanting a boycott of Israeli stuff whilst conveniently forgetting the origin of computer system, software involved in his chair. | | | |

Oh he’s antisemitic too is he? And the now dead Hawking. Get whoever your equivalent of Senator McCarthy is to add them to the list. [Post edited 9 Nov 2019 18:00]

Yes, it has succeeded spectacularly for people like me, but it doesn't create a country I want to live in. | |

But what have those things got to do with "Capitalism"?
Aren't they all to do with absolutely crap "Governing"?
Like wasting our hard earned taxes on Foreign Aid, HS2, MPs expenses & bailing out Banks.
I am sure that you could name a lot of "waste" by the last few Governments to add to the list. | | | |

Well, when even Labour drop him from doing election broadcasts as they did last year, Loach is toxic...
EDIT: Never thought Hawking was antisemitic personally. I just think his "boycott Israel" stance wasn't particularly principled, more "boycott Israel, oh but I'm a special case tbh so you lot just do it for me".
Then again I did giggle at the BDS leader years ago giving a speech, reading from an HP laptop. [Post edited 9 Nov 2019 18:04]

There's no perfect system.

And a well regulated capitalism in which companies pay appropriate taxes and dont shit on people and nations would be better again. | |
