Capitalist is evil... Libertarianism isn't.

**PLATO** · June 23, 2003, 15:40

Let's start with: What is evil??

**Ben Kenobi** · June 23, 2003, 15:41

If so, I'll convert to a socialist right this instant.

Why ask?

**Dis** · June 23, 2003, 15:42

because I don't want to be an evil person

ideally I would like to be a good person.

**Dauphin** · June 23, 2003, 15:45

Diss, be a hedonist, if it feels good do it.

Seriously though, don't care what other people think is good or evil, make your own judgements.

**Spiffor** · June 23, 2003, 15:47

Both are evil. Be a socialist

If you would convert instantly, why don't you just become a socialist? What's holding you back dissident?

**Dis** · June 23, 2003, 15:50

the fact that I don't think socialism would work. Ideally I would like to be a socialist- but I know it can't work.

So if it cannot work, don't believe in it! Nothing 'bad' about the decision.

ahh but it is considered compassionate to want to help the poor.

Aside from being evil, of course.

There's nothing stopping you from being a capitalist and/or libertarian and helping the poor. Many do.

**Nubclear** · June 23, 2003, 16:04

Become a universalist. It suits you well

**Al'Kimiya** · June 23, 2003, 16:05
