Capitalism: The Foundation of Human Life and Morality

[Brian37]

Bullshit. This is simplistic.

First off "capitalism" IS NOT A FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

Gadaffi was a billionaire who owned stock in GE. China capitalizes off the sale of cheap goods on the backs of slave wages. Saudi Arabia capitalizes off the sale of oil.

All humans seek power, as individuals and groups. Money is the way those things are maintained. Anything can go off the rails if left to it's own devices, religion, politics, nationalism, AND BUSINESS.

Everything can be gamed because humans run all those things.

Capitalism isn't a cure, it is a means, just like politics and religion. All of those things are group think that seek resources to gain a advantage.

The issue is monopolies of power and abuse of power. Business by itself can be just as harmful and exploit just like religion and politics.

"I scratch your back you scratch mine" is what we all do, in all those aspects. But what makes it more fair is when we insist in law that no one can have a monopoly of power, INCLUDING BUSINESS.

Capitalism does not violate the non aggression principle. Government does. Do not compare two things which are fundamentally different moral states.

STOP IT! You are falling for dogma yourself.

ONCE AGAIN, "Capitalism" IS NOT A FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

People can be greedy and use money to create monopolies of power. GADDAFFI was a billionaire. Wealth or the ability to gain wealth does not insure that those who become wealthy will have the interest of others in mind. You stupidly assume that people who get wealthy cant do bad things with their wealth. ALL POWER, be it political or religious or BUSINESS takes money to maintain that power. So business has just as much capability of becoming abusive.

I am for private business ownership and wealth can do good things, but you stupidly assume that rich people cant be abusive themselves when I gave you an example of a rich person who used his wealth to create a monopoly of power.
