A Capitalist and a Socialist are walking together and approach a homeless man.

The Socialist turns to the Capitalist and says "Give me $5, I'm going to help that person"

The homeless man stands up, angry and shouts at the Capitalist "Five dollars! You raised my rent so high I had nowhere to live, you raised the cost of medicine beyond my ability to afford so that I went broke trying to save the life of my child - who died anyway - you offshored the last of the jobs I could actually do to use overseas slave labor for profit, and that left me broke, sick, mourning and without a roof over my head - and last I heard, you are using your money to eliminate any social program that could help me recover from what you did to me - and you want to throw me a measly five???"

The Capitalist turns to the Socialist and says "I literally haven't said anything yet in this joke, even before the author copied it and changed the ending to be more accurate, yet the homeless person rants at me and blames his life's woes on me, because socialists cannot imagine their ideology doing anything wrong. Can you believe this guy? He's blaming Capitalism for what Socialist politicians do with power they don't deserve, again, because self-reflection is impossible for Communists. It's as though Commies think Capitalism cannot function without the you-know-whos charging everyone too much rent, topping the lists of New York's worst Landlords, outsourcing jobs to cheaper workers from places where life is cheaper, and charging too much for medicine that would be cheaper if people were allowed to create competitive affordable private clinics and weren't forced to rely on the government's bloated overpriced inefficient ponzi scheme. And he thinks the problem is that there aren't enough socialist programs in the world paying people to live! People who, in a functional capitalist society, wouldn't find bearing modernity so unaffordable. This coward will tell you some of what is wrong with modernity, but he lacks the stones to say out loud who is responsible for it, or what ideology truly failed him."

Doing good. The sites change but the days do not. Spend more of my time on Ponybooru these days.

Also I just realized we're on someone else's page. Sorry about that, Spark.
