Current economic system.

Ok I see on hear and allot of places where if you denounce the current corrupt system we have now you get labelled a liberal or a commie ect.

Thing is most of us who are appalled by the current system are not asking for full soclislim or communism. Hell allot of us want REAL capitalism not the fake capitalism we have now.

If you don't know the difference between REAL capitalism and fake capitalism ?

S and F for speaking out and telling it like it is! Your right! Todays version of Capitalism is far from it!

REAL capitalism is only possible in an independent, decentralized, minarchistic state.

I can't even add a second line... it's that simple.

S/F for a well thought out and presented thread.

I'd be happy to condemn capitalism if I'd seen any real examples of it for most of my adult life. It seems to have morphed out the last unregulated and uncontrolled areas of the economy as the Internet has been tamed and taxed.

Heck, it's all a failure when no system is allowed to function without leaders who "know better" making their daily little tweaks to sabotage even the best of intentions.
