Capitalism - the Ultimate Religion

[Cerrone]

No system is perfect.

No system CAN be perfect.

Because once you put people in the equation it'll be immediately fucked.

I agree totally. There is no perfect system. It is still legitimate to talk about capitalism, its limitations, its anti-democratic fundamentals, and its profoundly religious nature. To talk about religion - in particular, the residual religions that are on the wane like christianity, judaism and islam, without talking about capitalism is to confine atheist discussion to a backwater.

Once you set down your ideas in stone though you're doomed to fail, because the world changes and if an ideology doesnt change then it ceases to be of any benefit.

The only true ideology that can sustain and maintain progress at the same time is the same one that the romans used;

adapt to your environment, unite your allies and assimilate your opponents.



The problem with capitalism... ah i could go on for hours about the problems.. but what's right with it is a better question. And simply, it exploits human greed and does nothing to make anything better. You could even say with even the most destructive examples of human ideology that at least those people had a noble goal in the very beginning.
