Seashells are a way to organize an economy --

And Bretton Woods Accords is a way to organize an economy --

Capitalism is a system of organized crime -- and if you've been around the last two

years here in America, I would presume you would have observed that as we have bailed

our corrupt/criminal capitalism . . . again!!


Stepping back from that, it's simply a way to organize an economy. The abuses are because of bad government and societal decisions. Let any system run rampant, and it will produce tremendous inequities.

Wake up! Corporations have bought control of our government -- control of our agencies!

We don't have "bad" government . . . we have coporate government!

Wow!!



You're flat wrong to say that capitalism's purpose is to move wealth from the poor to the elite. The basis of capitalism is that wealth redistributes constantly in both directions, instead of locking it in place the way most other systems have done. The excesses you complain of are the opposite of capitalism--they are the vestiges of feudalism reemerging because government has not done its best to protect capitalism. They are the result of private industry losing the government restrictions and functioning as feudal entities. The problem isn't capitalism, it is that those in control don't understand capitalism, and mistakenly label their free market and supply-sided nonsense as capitalism. They aren't capitalism. Capitalism requires a strong governmental regulation. When you lose that regulation, you have feudalism.

Did you ever play a game of Monopoly? That's capitalism.

Did they possibly tell you in school that capitalism and democracy are snynomous?

They were lying -- capitalism is the opposite of democracy.

Capitalism is removing the middle class everywhere because they no longer need a middle class

as a show case vs USSR communism.

Private industry didn't "LOSE" government restrictions . . . they worked to overturn the

NEW DEAL regulations!! Glass-Steagall and all of the laws put in place to control predatory

capitalism. Have you no knowledge of FDR/New Deal history?

And, No . . . when New Deal regulations are overturned by corporate influence and money . . .

i.e., see latest Supreme Court Case!! -- then what you have in unregulated capitalism is

organized crime! That's what FDR saw . . . and that's what we have again.



Even the most slight knowledge of history will prove that capitalism has done a greater job of moving wealth from the elite to the masses than any other system. Feudalism locks the wealth in the hands of hereditary property owners who owe nothing to the people beneath, who cannot gain land or wealth and therefore live with the crumbs the elite decide to leave them. Until capitalism began to emerge, no economic system gave as much control of the production of labor to the laborer.

Again, I suggest you read something of FDR and New Deal -- and something of the Reagan/Bush history

in overturning it for corporate $$.

Nor is capitalism about competitition . . . it's about killing the competition.

And MONOPOLY as you are seeing it now in "too big to fail companies" is more proof of that!

Again, the capitalism you are celebrating is regulated capitalism -- the New Deal capitalism --

which created the middle class. That's over.

Wake up!
