Leonid Nikonov on Capitalism and Human Dignity in the NEW BOOK - The Morality of Capitalism

[yakyakyak69]

Socialist gov'ts, Collective-Communism & National-Fascism killed Millions of people in the 20th Century, yet "Progressives" (marxists) still want "change via gov't action aka "Tyranny of the Majority" which leads to cronyism, corruption, bankruptcy, starvation, gov't sponsored mass-murder & human dispare.

Communism sounds good except for ONE thing...

Humans are NOT insects!

[leonikonov]

I don't see anything immoral in exchange, when I help someone to reach his or her goals providing what he or she need from me while I get what I need. This means to recognize one's dignity as a being that has its own objects and rights. This is what morality is all about. Work, trade, invent and create peacefully without violation of rights - these are principles of free-market society that do has a moral value.

Capitalism and morality ? Capitalism and human dignity ? Don't you fucking feel shame over your shallowness and stupidity ?And you are director of the center for Philosophy of Freedom ? You are making me feel deep shame over my origin !

@mojoboy1984 That is not an argument. You should indeed be ashamed, but not because of whatever origins you may have, but because you are unable to make an argument.

[mojoboy1984]

@TheTomGPalmer What is not an argument ? Capitalism never had moral . It is based on unmoral . You have to know the history of USA to understand it. Even Stalinism offered more human dignity then Capitalism . You must be simply narrow minded to look out of your closed world or too corrupt to see real world.Idiot.

@mojoboy1984 A visit to your site indicates your nationalism, hatred, etc. (e.g., "Merged power of Germany and Russia is simply unbeatable! Just look at history.") You revel in nationalism, statism, & mass murder. After the failures of socialism -- the starvation, the slavery, the oppression, etc. (read Applebaum, Gulag: A History, and much more) it's hard to see why anyone else would.For some evidence on the way free market capitalism has enriched mankind visit the data at freetheworld-dot-com

@mojoboy1984 I will not waste more time with someone who wrote in the comment below "Even Stalinism offered more human dignity then Capitalism." Is that "satire"? If you were to grow up and engage with economic arguments, data, etc. that would be a different matter. (I recommend, if you wish to look into what communism accomplished, Timothy Snyder's new book "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin." It has a wealth of detail about National Socialism and Bolshevik Socialism.)
