Subject: RE: BS: Capitalism has outlived its usefullness
Bon....Thanks for the award for stupidest comment.....most difficut to achieve on this forum! However I think it ts deserved in this case, as it is so stupid that even you have failed to understand its meaning.
Carol's contention was that Socialism and Communism were no less likely to encourage corruption than Capitalism. I disagreed, but at no time did I suggest that there have been no corrupt Socialist or Communist regimes.

Although all these systems are destructive ultimately, Capitalism is the only one which encourages us to exploit one another for personal gain, any safeguards for the sick, elderly,unemployed or unemployable, have had to be fought for against the system.

People often say that Communism is right in theory but cant work in practice. No one ever says that about Capitalism; and the truth is that the ethos of the Capitalist system is corruption and exploitation which eventually leads to the systemic failure we see today
