And \u2026 I can give you a good answer for that\u2026<\/p>\n<p>So in the original \u201cCommunist Manifesto\u201d book, Karl Marx lays out 10 points of communism. So he says, in order to build a communist society, we need these 10 things. Okay? That&#8217;s his words, not mine\u2026 Quantitatively, the United States has seven of the 10 in place.<\/p>\n<p>So, does that make the United States a capitalist society or a communist society? Well, we have seven of the 10 things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> I do not think we live in a capitalist society.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moss:<\/strong> It\u2019s a spectrum, right? A lot of people as me like, when was the point that we were the most capitalist? So, it\u2019s a spectrum, right?<\/p>\n<p>If I have to give up 100% of my money that I earn to the State, I\u2019m a slave. If I keep 100%, I\u2019m free. What about when I give 50%? So it\u2019s a scale, right? So we have seven of out the 10, so we\u2019re more communist than free, but it\u2019s a spectrum, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do U.S. citizens live in a capitalist society, or have they fallen into the traps of communism?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2520,"featured_media":7215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1894,1366,1216],"class_list":{"0":"post-7214","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-culture","8":"tag-capitalism","9":"tag-communism","10":"tag-podcast"},"author_data":{"id":2520,"name":"Bitcoin Magazine","nicename":"bitcoin-magazine","avatar_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bitcoin-magazine-logo.jpeg"},"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_5991.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2520"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
