It's not moral... it might work better in certain ways, but it's not moral.

Socialism is better than the elite capitalism, capitalism is not for every citizens. Only for the rich and powerful can use it.

Capitalism is an amoral system. Their is no morality.

Capitalism doesn't work. It look goods on paper but never works the way people say it should.

A moderate capitalism is the way to go.

Love that self aggrandizing term you use for your intellectually bankrupt philosophy;
{{_"Progressive"_}}. People need to be free to live their own lives and pursue their own dreams, without having to cow-tow to the autocratic, collectivist notions of some self-congratulatory elite.
The fascistic Bush administration is no legitimate example of free-market ideology, except for purposes of contrived & propagandistic, Dialectical mischaracterization.
Ron Paul would set you straight on that.

Lose you did. No matter how you talk around it, your people must enforce top-down control; i.e. tyranny.
There must be a de-facto, beauraucratic ruling class to impose your "benificent order", with all of the attendant and inevitable opportunity for corruption & oppression. Anti-trust is a legitimate & necessary function of government and if performed properly, real free-market capitalisim will prevail and produce a far superior outcome for far more people than any centrally planned society.

Hard to understand your point. Glass-Steagal is anti-capitalist. It's government intervention which prevents competition.

I heard something odd about shockandawe - that the first weapon of mass destruction, the Ark of the Covenant is called something in Hebrew which sounds just like shockenawe. Anyone know if this is true?
