You could equally well suggest that the causes of war can be traced to nationalism, mercantilism, and racism. :-)

Or how about just plain prejudice, greed, fear, and zenophobia?

These people who regard socialism as some sort of satanic bogeyman amuse me...and seriously worry me. Their own capitalist societies could not possibly function without a great deal of socialism already in place, but they don't seem to realize that. Can't see the forest for the trees, I guess...

They are, like Don Quixote, attacking windmills, and thinking they are giants.
