Subject: RE: BS: La France: Oui ou Non?
Robo.... I find it sad that we feel we need to compete in an industrialised world, which in the main produces crap,in order to survive.

As the search goes on to find ways of keeping the Capitalist machine running, things that used to be abhorrent to us, like the use of torture against defencless prisoners, illegal wars of aggression,
Attacks on human rights ect have become acceptable and will soon become the norm.

My vision of the future makes my blood run cold, and it can all be laid at the door of Global Capitalism.

You ask me if it is entirely bad and I have to say that I can see no redeeming feature in Capitalism.
It is an ideology of greed and crass materialism and any "benefits" that fall to the poor have been screwed from someone even poorer.
