Subject: RE: BS: Please WALMART needs your help
Here is an illuminating article about WalMart and the Walton family:

The Beasts of Bentonville

I seriously doubt that the Waltons are Jewish...not that I particularly care one way or the other whether they are or not. I just don't like WalMart, period.

And there are limits on capitalism already...in every capitalist society...since various highly profitable and antisocial courses of action are already illegal. Those limits need to be considerably strengthened. A society based solely on material self-interest is a society headed straight to hell, and it is ludicrous to suggest that the only alternative to that is Communism. (Communism in China and Russia is/was based mainly on the self-interest of the ruling hierarchy of Communist bosses!)

It is ruthless, uncaring self-interest (either capitalist OR communist OR any other variety) which stands in the WAY of genuine social progress.
