"The other trouble is that you for some reason see and think of "Capitalism" as a political system - It's not . . ." (Teribus)

"Well, not in the traditional sense it isn't, but unregulated capitalism has become synonymous with 'democracy' in modern political parlance....." - Stigweard

No Stigweard, not in "modern political parlance", it has in the "modern political parlance of the extreme left". But I am pleased to see that you recognise, as your fellow traveller Akenaton does not, that "capitalism" is not a political system.

Stigweard, as a self confessed "marxist", what is your view on China's recent acceptance and adoption of "capitalism"? And believe me Stigweard, there is absolutely no way on earth that I would ever describe "The People's Republic of China" as being "democratic".

"Capitalism as a system of economics is failing due to inability to regulate itself." - Stigweard

Anything at all to back that statement up? Or as a marxist is this just you voicing a long and dearly held wish?

So "capitalism" is the source of "global warming" and climate change is it Stigweard. Funny that seeing as China is the greatest polluter on earth and a non-signatory of the Kyoto Agreement.

If "capitalism" is the source it will also provide the solutions. One thing is certain "marxism" will not, the "Party Elite" will be too busy suppresing the masses to notice the increase in temperature.
