For all of us who support economic freedom, progress through market competition and the most important of all, individualism. Capitalism work when you do. Capitalist societies value risk taking and investment to grow enterprise and voluntary interactions to maximise social cooperation. This group is suited for libertarians, anarcho-capitalists or minarchists.

This sounds like the US populace, not an economic system.

Well, if socialism worked, it would be much better than capitalism. Anyway, socialism turned to dictatorship of leader who doesn't deserve it. Capitalism will always turn to oligarchy.

Damn, communists hate me for my texts on their party and blame me for being capitalist and now you'll blame me to be communist... I know what propaganda is and I know it is in USA and only few people knows it's just propaganda. I must admit I never liked USA, but after ComeradeStalin's text on communist party, in which he worship Stalin as communist... He was not a communist!!!

Politically, well, I suppose not, from an economic point of view they were. Hence the flaws on the communist part. I don't care of their political allegiance or belief as much I care about the death toll. If they claim to be communism and establish a communist economic system(in per capita terms the Soviet GDP was behind that of the First World countries) where progress is slowed down, life is miserable for the majority of the populace(in contrast to a capitalist system where it's a minority), and solve no problem whatsoever, it is enough for me to class all potential communist parties in the same basket, because the inevitable outcome. I mean take your pick. Communist dictators is not what's missing in this world. Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam....

I don't blame you for being socialist, although I am unsure of why you think it's a better strategy for the future. The only flaw in true capitalism is that it doesn't consider the infirms or those who are disadvantaged in the equation, thus, I am opened in some measure to government intervention but it should remain a organization to establish law and respect it, not bend it to their wills which is what communism/ extreme form of socialism leads to.

Even in "capitalist" North-America we are not in a true capitalist society. The governments intervene on a regular basis in the business world. The federal government should have 3 responsibilities: the population's health, its education, and maintaining the law(army too I suppose). Then lesser government, which takes care of transport, waste management and emergency services. No fixing in the prices, or impede on businesses. One thing they should do however, is preventing the business to manipulate prices artificially. In a perfect capitalist society the prices are influenced by the supply and the demands only, the governments interventions merely destroy this balance. Bailouts too, are just as bad. If a company takes risks, it must be ready to account for those risks. With technology, the supply increase exponentially, and so the well being of us all. No need for politicians to get into the mix. I am in to a degree favor a technocracy thus in this aspect, I respect the USSR, because it's the closest we have yet though, their foolish attempts at being politically correct has ended with millions of death. How ironic!

The image was directed at Americans-socialist as the arrogant micheal moore which are not economist but activist and the "bring down wall street" bandwagon who acts like savages i the streets. You don't know half of it, thrust me. Even in Canada our dear national channel does a great job at silencing their actions. Sorry about the lecture.

One more thing: why is an oligarchy necessarily a bad thing? It works in the businesses world and the army, only to some extent when it comes to governments but it's a solvable problem.
