What's to the right of fascist?

Socialism doesn't work. It removes incentive to actually work hard, ignoring skill-sets of people, and ultimately creates (to great irony) an unfair society.
Quote:B) What makes capitalism such a great system? Trampling on the poor :|
If you think the definition of capitalism includes the words "trampling on the poor" then you aren't in any position to even ask that question. Perhaps you should read up on it before you just spout the usual socialist rhetoric.

Capitalism is a natural system. Rather than being created as part of a movement, capitalism arose on its own, based on the needs of people and the trading of resources. It allows people with good ideas to become wealthy, and in turn create jobs for people who don't have such good ideas. The harder you work, and the more skills you acquire, mean the more money you get paid.

I agree with people being able to buy the items they want to buy, but I don't agree with millions of cheap plastic flashlights being produced simply so somebody can have the choice to buy a pink one instead of a black one. I'd rather not have to clean that shit up from the land of my country.
This isn't any different to socialism.

Quote:Capitalism also lacks the conservation power of reliable forecasting. In capitalism a supplier modifies his or her stock retroactively based on previous demand. No matter how you cut it, you're going to be overstocked or understocked by a significant margin for at least one time, and you'll always be a little off. Being understocked is bad when you are supplying essentials. Being overstocked is bad because it means you are overproducing. If you don't restrict your production you are going to cause shortages and environmental problems.
Again, no different to socialism. Factories in socialism have no means of reliable forecasting either. In fact, I'd go as far to say that there is no efficient way of forecasting. The only way you can do that is by taking orders for products, and then making them. The problem with this is that people have to wait, which isn't a good thing for most products.

The benefit that capitalism has in this is that if a company over-produces, they are punished for it (by losing money). Similarly, if they under-produce, they are punished (by not getting the maximum profit). This is why most large companies have research teams to determine how many products they can sell.
