In the democratic western countries so-called capitalism leads a saturnalia of 'freedom', like a bastard brother of reform.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Capitalism offers you freedom, but far from giving people freedom, it enslaves them.
Patrimonial capitalism's legacy is that many people see reform as a euphemism for corruption and self-dealing.
Now you know my credo: Free-market capitalism is the best path to prosperity. And let me add to that from our Founding Fathers: Our Creator endowed us with the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, freedom.
The link between my experience as an entrepreneur and that of a politician is all in one word: freedom.
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
If allowed to run free of the social system, capitalism will attempt to corrupt and undermine democracy, which is after all not a natural state.
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
A culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom.
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
There is no freedom without groceries. There are no groceries without freedom. What people call 'capitalism' and 'socialism' are actually one and inseparable. It's a virtuous circle.
