Why Anti-Capitalism is Stupid

March 4, 2023March 10, 2023 ChinoF 34 Comments

Wokes and commies are all about bringing down the capitalist world, or as the Critical Race Theory textbook puts it, the liberal order. This “order” is being badmouthed as the cause of inequality, oppression and suffering in general. Such an idea is stupid, since slavery and oppression have been existing as long as humans have…

Bongbong Marcos: Another Noynoy Aquino and another Kamaganak Inc in the making?

January 23, 2023 Ramon Ortoll 9 Comments

The elephant in the room we need to talk about: Marcos might just turn out to be another Noynoy. This is probably the universe’s way of putting an end to the Marcos-Aquino feud and pave the way for a new leader to rise from the ranks. But fate is cruel. There’s no one on the…

Lately, the Philippine Opposition had been exploiting for political gain yet another piece of poverty porn. The snippets of copy used as fodder to mount this blame campaign are so predictable that they lend a bit of comedy to an otherwise serious problem. https://twitter.com/KadamaySanRoque/status/1616369658134933504?t=VR1_vLf2R2wpfrUZbMuMsQ&s=19 Victim mentality is evidently a favourite comfort zone of a people…

Economic pitfalls that the Philippines must avoid

December 11, 2022 The Unpopular Opinion 5 Comments

Over the recent months, the Philippines had been experiencing consistent economic growth despite global uncertainties, which range from supply chain bottlenecks to geopolitical tensions. If it continues along that trajectory, the Philippines is expected to join the upper middle-income tier group during the Marcos Jr. administration, where the country will eventually become a burgeoning USD…

How to make capitalism work in the Philippines?

November 16, 2022 The Unpopular Opinion 41 Comments

If there is one word in the dictionary that has been greatly maligned, vilified, and tormented in world history, it would be capitalism. Various political and economic theories, together with their believers and practitioners have continuously despised capitalism, but haven’t construed anything pragmatic without capitalism’s wealth generating ability.
