RE: "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." - Margaret Thatcher
The problem with this is neither socialism or capitalism are immune to govern-cement largesse.
Capitalism, if run by the greedy, would work ok. But, capitalism today is run by the greedy and evil. "Competition is a crime" - Rockefellow. The desire of the evil is to climb the pyramid to the top and then make sure no one else can climb up.
Both systems are inherently broken and what will replace them both doesn't even have a name yet.
Star Trek is said to be the ultimate socialism, but it is closer to ultimate capitalism. It is what happens when technology has made it so that no one has to do without the minimums to sustain life. There are more important things than material goods, and in Star Trek, you see they are worth quite a lot.
I look forward to the future, and the changes in all societal structures. Especially govern-cement.
Yep government can and does corrupt anything.
Which is why I prefer "Free Market" or "Laissez Faire" which don't require government. :) In fact once you inject government into those they cease to be Free.
As George Washington said, "“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
I fully agree with this quote ,and this is the reason government should be used as sparingly as possible, whether that be in economics or otherwise. Instead of anarchy though, I propose a full revamp of our government and legal systems to new principles. I haven't gotten too far on the new series yet, but you might like it. Please have a look.
You obviously don't know too much about Rockefeller.
oh..by the way..capitalisim is NOT a form of government..so you're comparing apples to grapefruit.
