Subject: RE: BS: Theresa May's new year message
Good heavens the evils of profit - any of you wondered where pension funds get the money to pay out? Or do you all actually believe that profits all go into the pockets of "evil" capitalists.

Capitalism is NOT a political system. It has far from been disproven nor has it failed as an economic system, it is still going strong, while communism has collapsed as both an economic and a political system.

Also there has been the idiotic belief that only capitalists that exploit the world's resources - in the 1990s I had the opportunity to witness the rape of mother earth "Soviet" style - horrendous was no understatement of the environmental damage done.

Those putting this line of complete and utter BS out should take a look at what "globalisation" has done since 1990. The "World's" economy has doubled, the number of people living in poverty has halved and this is supposed to be bad? If anybody tries to tell me that people in general are worse off today than they were fifty years ago or 100 years ago then you are delusional.
