I'm telling you shut up already because its impossible to provide a better alternative to capitalism.

LOL. "Ours is the one true way, no other way is possible!" This, children, is what fundamentalist thinking looks like. Do you see the parallels here between religious and economic fundamentalism?

One of these days you libertards will figure out that I'm not actually debating you for your sake, or for mine. You economic fundamentalists are - like religious fundamentalists - tragically beyond my help. Your indoctrination goes far too deep. You cannot unlearn those lies now, it's too painful for your fragile ego.

I'm debating you for the sake of all the silent readers out there, present and future. Those capable of thinking beyond the narrow constraints of your schooling-brainwashed minds.

Once again, I'll leave you with the historical facts you continue to ignore:

"Before capitalism, there were other ways. Feudalism was what existed in Europe for a thousand years before we had modern capitalism. And before that, slavery - yet another system - another way of organizing who does the work and who gets the profits and so on. And the interesting thing is that every other system that we have a record of in the human race, was born, evolved over time, and eventually passed away. What always has intrigued me, is the need for those people living in capitalism today, to think it's going to be the great exception. It was born, basically in England 300 years ago, it has evolved over the last three centuries. But when you say, "yes, but that means it will also pass away and give rise to another system", people get all kinds of strange worries because they don't want to think about that.

And so they begin to imagine that this system [capitalism] will be forever, in a way no other system in history has proved itself to be."

yawn. call me when there's something better than individuals and companies interacting freely in the marketplace without government involvement.
