Little Hawk mentions in the last line of his thread

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

Interesting statement, and very good it is.

Outsourcing specifically to China(which Walmart is one of the largest benefactors) is the greed Captitalism and the greed of Communism feeding off of each other. To Hell with social progress, for the sake of cheap, cheap goods.
