  • Amazing speaking skillz! That ain't easy to do.

    It seems to me that socialism (or at least socialist-oriented ideas, e.g., unionization) is precisely what has barely *saved* American capitalism from destroying itself as per Marx's prediction. Socialist policies inject a certain amount of humanism that is lacking in the cold, logical market system, and when adopted, they help alleviate some of the frustration that the everyman experiences under a capitalist system.

  • Amen

  • Mandarin2qt4u, Thanks for your comment, it gives me hope that their are honest ppl who want justice for all. America is in big trouble and their are those who will pit groups against each other once again to maintain their domination and control. I read Gov actually destroyed food during the G.D. 1929 in order to keep food prices up. Best Wishes

  • He is saying just the right thing, honestly.

    Capitalism is "all about" making profit, they don't give a rats ass about how you feel as a person, every success and happiness from them comes in profit. Just look at America, for god sake.

  • Capitalism is not the problem; its the solution. The real problem is corporatism. Corporatism is the unholy alliance between business and government. For more on this, I suggest reading Gabriel Kolko's book: "The Triumph of Conservatism" Furthermore, Socialism is impossible. The Austrian economist - Ludwig von Mises - identified the fatal flaw of this system: the problem of economic calculation.

    The writings of Murray Rothbard are also highly recommended.
