Capitalism to me is like the game Monopoly. The game is over once one player has all the money.

I say it's 'self-defeating' because it's basically a zero sum game. In order for me to win, you must lose. Simplistic, maybe. But I wish someone would show me how it's wrong.

It seems to me that we are now living thru the beginnings of the collapse of the capitalist system. Medicare is being destroyed. Overtime pay is being destroyed. Social Security is next.

One wonders at what point the masses will rise up and replace the system. And I truly believe that it will happen. History showes that when the worker class has enough taken from them by the investor class, they will rise up and destroy the system. It will happen here.

I just hope it happens before the starved bodies start littering the streets.
