How many closet Marxists are there out there?

I wouldn’t lay that at the feet of capitalism. It is more due to unsustainable population growth. Wealthy capitalist countries have done a pretty good job of generating resources to feed hungry people, hence the green revolution, where they developed many much more productive food crops. We need to act to makes sure everyone in the world doesn’t go hungry. Our sins are sins of omission, not commission.

Of course by Starving most of Africa and South Asia to death.

Capitalism is a way of exploitation -

Colonialism part 2.

Pseudonym of Colonialism2- is Capitalism

I dont like when people call me dumb, directly or otherwise. Besides, I have PMS so there.
You read Marx. Great.

The communist Cubans caused more hunger in Africa than we ever did in their march across that continent in the early and mid eighties. They used food as a weapon.

I think @sarad has classified me the worst communist that a capitalist can offer…she’s marxed me out…its ok np…

Basically, I’m pragmatic when it comes to economics. It seems to me that capitalism is what provides the best quality of life, but there are guys preaching socialism who make a lot of sense, Michael Morer being one.

quality of life to whom? …a single industrialist and his bunch of lackeys…rest of them are slaves.

I can never ever support Capitalism …NEVER.

Doubt it. She’s probably off doing something else right now.

I just found this poem on Capitalism

An Ode To Capitalism
hollow men with empty eyes
ruthless women selling lies
savage children breathing fire
living under concrete skies

mindless prophets preaching fraud
priests of commerce buying god
world of darkness dream of doom
soulless soldiers standing guard

white is black, black is white
right is wrong, wrong is right
lords of order chaos rules
destruction forged in blinding light

once and future twice and past
a tragic play with captive cast
all is ventured all is lost
last is first, first is last

wealth and power mindless greed
the few take all the many need
god is money life is cheap
heartless harvest evil seed

endless strife the rulers way
cannon fodder human clay
and in the end no justice found
the innocent the meek will pay

To me, for one, and my station in life is abject. I live in an assisted living center for the mentally ill. I get all the food I want. I sleep on a clean, soft bed in a warm room. I don’t have money for frills, but my necessities are okay. In a lot of communist countries people don’t have what I have. In Russia they have this saying, - “The peasant’s back is broad”. It means he is used to carrying burdens. No system can funnel useful goods and services into the economy like capitalism can.

Communism is cancer. Libertarianism is cancer. Corporationalism is cancer. Only thing that works well is a strong government actively governing a strong capitalist economy and showing social responsibility by helping those who can’t help themselves and making things as fair as possible for everyone.
