See what I mean about the moronic nature of the people here? saidin7 - 20/04/2004 03:11:20 AM

A form of capitalism is simply a secondary consequence of individual liberty. The critics of the free market simply can't seem to grasp this fact.

Not all forms of capitalism are good. And no, not all government is bad. But yes, as a matter of fact regulated democratic capitalism is the best system possible for everyone aka A Constitutional Democratic Libertarian Minarchy with a strong judiciary regulating against force and fraud.

And as it happens, I don't actually have a lot of money. A lot of people in the world don't have much money. Why? Because they didn't practice capitalism. That's why in communist Cuba the average worker has to on US$10 per month , where as in the United States even the poorest person on welfare is something like 50x as rich.

Capitalism is implied by volitional morality. And volitional morality says that free will is the most important value in the universe, and that the purpose of life is to help others get what they want (so long as they don't want something infringing on other's free will). So capitalism is, as I said at the beginning, really just a secondary consequence of altruism and volitional morality.

One day you and Dylan might actually grasp these facts.

Until then...
