Our world is hostage to the insatiable rampaging of the ruling class private gain and greed, dominating,dehumanising,devalu­­ing everyone and everything in the midst. We can and must change the wage slavery of immense humanity in a market system of artificial scarcity . We can share the world for our common needs and well being in harmony within and without.

[arzoyan]

The fundamental principle that we need to grapple with is this , Humanity cannot be treated as batteries of energy so a few can enrich and empower themselves the consequence is a world of war,poverty,exploitation,envio­­­rnmental destruction and many other terrible ongoing challenges, or We share the earth for all generations to come in harmony and cooperation for our material and emotional needs, We need to understand our common source and our common destiny , our common humanity as one.

A self-proclaimed Libertarian who apparently knew nothing about human rights, freedom or even the liberalism which he praised, but didn't understand.

The actual argument for capitalism was that free men, because they pursue their well-being, would end yielding public benefits despite pursuing selfish ends. Well, the condition is for them to be free and renting yourself to private tyrants makes that impossible.

So unless the system altogether changes, the problems will remain.

When you call yourself libertarian and sustain private ownership of the means of production, you're either deluded or a complete imbecile; freedom requires free labor, but renting yourself isn't being free since you essentially do not possess yourself in such a case: you are a slave sold in bits and chunks. Without democratic control of the economic institution and of its production, you are basically making yourself an advocate of extreme tyranny.

That was Milton Friedman.

People who are so fanatic about this sort of Capitalism are ironically (Absolutist Religious). Thay should go read, study, and think EVOLUTION. It they are born smart or not, ambitious or not, ugly or not, etc., which is actually in their view (DETERMINISTIC). Which in essence is GOD' wish. Can they explain this whole thing more rationally? Why shouldn't the born underprivileged help the ones that arn't? Why shouldn't the unintelligent worker live in dignity?

God bless capitalism. Listen to Milton Freidman.  Noam Chomsky can go chug a cock.

I agree a hundred percent with Mr. Chomsky and support him a hundred percent.

The wealth of the Walton family roughly equals the combined wealth of the poorer 50 % of the American population.

destruction of the top 0.1% is imperative

Capitalism is hegemonic today not because it is the best we humans can do, but because it supports, and is supported by special interests of immense power. What we really need is economic democracy, where essentially democracy is extended into the workplace! The first place to start would be worker control over production!
