    Or the swan song of capitalism

    As I read somepart,
    Free markets. Free economy. There is no capital-o-cracy. NOw we have freedom. Freedom only for the capital.
    If you go out on the street and start questioning people, you'd be surprised that they have no idea what capitalism is.

    I've met one that insisted that capitalism is different than capital-o-cracy.
    Whoever starts questioning anything, he's a communist. Like it would be bad if someone is a communist. OTOh it's supposedly good to be a capitalist.
    Though, really, what's that beef capitalists have with stalin?
    They say he killed lots of people.
    But stalin only killed communists. Stalin didn't kill capitalists. Stalin killed those that did the revolution. That's why we blame him after all.
    Which means that stalin killed those that the capitalists wanted to kill. What an hypocricy.
    Capitalism created the historical necessity of stalin and not communism, which after all never existed.
    In what regards the cold war, the armaments race, the star wars, nothing, not a word. Like that never happened.

    Whatever they'll do, the matter will always be "socialism or barbarity" Because capitalism's victims from wars or from all those that die each day, are far far greater.
    But this time socialism will exist planetwide so no cold wars, no armaments race, no star wars. And then, it will truely be socialism.
    Be glad about the barbarity that constantly increases. As long as barbarity increases, capitalism's end approaches. Which, poor capitalism was good - better than feudalism surely, but each system has its end so that the next can come.
    Those that have decided about "the end of history" have no idea. Neither from history nor from life.

    Everybody here calls you Paiktis. Everybody that is gone now but when they come back will remember you as Paiktis. You are forever known as Paiktis.

    Yet for some unbeknownst reason to all you still call yourself Banana_Eater.

    Now change it back before I get pissed off and do some banning.

          If you interview a random person on the street, they probably won't define capitalism the same way a Communist would. Such ignorance.

            nope... I still hear some kind of background noise. I thought shutting the window would help.

            it's like a buahzzz'ing noise. sometimes not too bad, other times completely annoying. go figure.

              Those who pine for the wonders of Communism truely do own that prize, sunshine.

              BTW, Stalin killed a hell of a lot more than just Commies. Had he limited it to that, hell, we might erect statues to him, but way to go glossing over the same **** over and over again. You can never finish polishing a turd pattycakes. It will never shine no matter how much you try.

                  I have a passing interest in distributivism, an idea rooted in Catholic social justice theories which purports to be an alternative to either communism or capitalism. As the name implies, it's supposed to be about ensuring that productive property is as widely distributed as possible. Sadly, it's very hard to get accurate info on what this entails, and I believe it's moribund now. It was essentially invented by Hillaire Belloc and G.K. Chesterton a century ago, generated passing interest for a while, and petered out. At least on this side of the pond.

                        Case in point.

                        We have dozens of disabled people in this country committing suicide because of the government's benefit cuts, while the rich are given tax breaks.

                            most people do, i think


                            that's one of the dangers of being both useless AND annoying
                            To us, it is the BEAST.
