  • I'm not an economist so I could be wrong, but this is my thought process about it: If a product becomes too expensive to produce for some companies, those companies will stop selling it. Less companies selling the product = less offer less offer = higher price.

  • Le secteur publique en gréve, les banques alimentaires demandent l'aide, les systèmes de transport aussi, l’épicerie et le logement coûte cher en tabarnak, plein d’itinérants dans les villes... et le gouvernement provincial dépense $7 millions dans un calisse de match de hockey qu'aurait pu être gratuit.

    Communist Filth/Capitalist Filth
  • And I agree that social investment in capitalist societies builds better quality of life. Where I disagree with you is on the intention of these posts. Its clearly communist propaganda painting communism as a perfect solution for everything, as if we could not remember history or see with our own eyes that nobody wants to immigrate to North Korea for a reason.

    It's not your imagination: Companies are more willing to raise their prices now — and it's because we let them
  • This is the real problem. Companies had always and always will raise prices as much as they can, that should be a surprise to anybody, but how much they can raise them depends on the demand and the competition they have. We dont have healthy competition here in Canada for a lot of sectors. You want better prices? Break down monopolies, open the market to more foreign companies and enforce real consequences for collusion.

    ‘Victims Of Communism’ Monument Unveiling Postponed
  • Similar but not the same, communist countries always end up in tyranny and its citizens always end up escaping to capitalist countries. In capitalist countries you can see some that have better quality of life than others. It depends a lot on legislation, how competent is the government to keep a healthy economy and social investments.

  • you are wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

    Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal')[1][2] is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state (or nation state).
