@slaughtz With regards to victimization, I don't see how capitalism encourages that at all in a free market. A person would have the choice whether or not to put their money in a bank or in their own vault at home. If what you're talking about is that people ignore a person and that's "bad" and shouldn't happen, then you have to universalize this. How many people's well-being do you ignore on a daily basis? What makes it acceptable for you to put your well-being before those more downtrodden?

@MrROTD Capitalism doesn't victimize people - people victimize people. Just because one atheist psycho goes around shooting people, you don't say that atheism causes that behavior. Now, you seem to have a lot of efficacy in government. This would imply that you think the "social contract" is valid. Assuming it's validity, then the CITIZENS are responsible, not the banks, for putting people in power who would approve of such things.

@MrROTD You are being too harsh on capitalism. Before the spread of global capitalism, the world was a miserable & poor place.

@KittenKoder Capitalism by it's nature victimizes the weak or un-educated therefore it creates inequality by it's very nature. The government didn't do it, Banks and finacial institutions are responsible for the mess, going back to 1913 in USA and 1930 IN Canada they have been charging us interest on money they don't really have in the vault. In other words they are chrging us interest and getting very wealthy buy charging interest on money thats already ours in the first place.

@GunsNRosesbitches Most people just want to live in peace and safety so capitalism fails miserably. Capitalism means opportunity and innovation but it also means the weak and vulnerable get left out in the cold. I prefer Capitalism but I also like socialism for things like basic medical care and basic housing. I can't fully support a system that victimizes anyone who can't or won't play the game

@Fangornmmc Socialism works fine in Sweden but there's no guarntee it will work elsewhere because the Swedish success is because of attitude. You can't have socialism in USA because people are too greedy and don't seem to care about the weak or vulnerable people. I like capitalism but the iniquity is just too much, the corporations are running our lives and the government allows them to essentially rob us blind. Few Canadians know that Canadian money is issued by private banks for example

How are you supposed to say "go fuck yourself, policy makers, you're simply wrong on this issue!" if you can thus be arrested for siding with crime... If it applies this wide, how is this any different from a disagreement of policy?
We need a system that'll actually strike down on corruption aswell.

@KittenKoder If you really want some fun... ask a liberal what kind of economic system allows property to be owned, but the government controls markets, and prices. They literally can't hear themselves say it.It's creepy, but funny.
Capitalism: the only jobs "plan" that will work.

@GunsNRosesbitches Capitalism didn't create inequality, the government did.
