    Yes, I know.
    Thank you for attempting to keep me on the straight and narrow though.
    I DO appreciate your fine effort.

      *shrug* Sooner or later, a new technology/philosophy/economic system will come along that renders capitalism as quant and backwards as the old feudal system or worshipping a God-King. Capitalism will survive in small, isolated pockets that will be viewed with bemusement by people living in the new system.

      Personally, I suspect it would take something like the end of the human condition to achieve this. Not that I think it won't happen, I just don't expect it any time soon.

      Glad I'm gonna live forever though.
      Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
      -Richard Dawkins

        Capitalism is good for you. (In moderate amounts of course.)

          I read that original post of yours, Sloww, and I was wondering when somebody would come in and "correct" you. You make trolling just look so easy.

            that was necessary...

            But some people do confuse things a bit. They don't realize that economic systems and political systems aren't the same thing.

            Like the government of Communism. No such thing. Doesn't exist. That one always pisses me off.

                    Since socialism has failed as an alternative, I reccomend a return to feudalism. I nominate myself as King.

                        Canada and Western Europe seem to be doing just fine. But they don't qualify as your definition of "Socialism"... which is very much different from reality.

                            I love capitalism. I hate the abuses done in it's name. And contrary to the belief of the Cold-War brainwashed masses, social programs and safety nets can co-exist in a free-market consumer goods economy.
