Subject: RE: BS: WAV's BBC-Recorded Slam: Cut Capitalism
Well, Stu, after my Slam I (along with the others) was asked a couple of questions from the audience:

Who would be the main regulator in your Global Regulationism? A: a stronger more-democratic United Nations - apart from some local government, all any citizen of our world needs is their own nation and the United Nations (no E.U., U.K., Commonwealth, G20, etc., whose dissolution would in itself strengthen the U.N.).

Isn't capitalism, with it's incentives to build wealth, the best option we have? A: I disagree with the far-Left who say no inequality - there should be the incentive of an economic ladder to climb, BUT the inequality/gaps between the rungs that the free-market produces is, as I say, ridiculous and inhumane, and thus we need regulationism.
