I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it's going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Capitalism is against the things that we say we believe in - democracy, freedom of choice, fairness. It's not about any of those things now. It's about protecting the wealthy and legalizing greed.
Capitalism is part of our system, but it's not for the faint of heart.
The trouble with capitalism as a system is that only those who have or can get capital can make it work for them, and that leaves out damn near all of us.
In hindsight it may even seem inevitable that a socialist society will starve when it runs out of capitalists.
While there's capitalism, there'll be socialism, because there is always a response to injustice.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Well, capitalism is a big problem, because with capitalism you're just going to keep buying and selling things until there's nothing else to buy and sell, which means gobbling up the planet.
Capitalism is not so much an aberration as a step on an evolutionary path, and one that contains within it some of the answers to its own contradictions.
What we do today has nothing to do with capitalism or socialism. It is a crony type of system that transfers money to the coffers of bureaucrats.
I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.
