Is capitalism failing?

was it Churchill who said:

"'If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by 40, he has no brain.'"

either way found as I've got older that not only is communism unsustainable but not particularly desirable, when I was young I was all 'power to the people' unfortunately didn't realise that most people are stupid and would be dangerous with power

In a world that is free and un controlled by anyone else I will want to be free to carry on ripping off contractors and clients. How does that fit with anarchic communism?Like everything else you post on here, the best you can manage is repeating cliches of others

Why - there would in such a world be no beneift to you to do that as the whole concept of money will be redundant.

Or would you really still want to rip people off just to satisfy a dark inner urge?

No, dickhead, all I'm doing is providing a link that offers an alternative view. Maybe you would benefit from lifting your eyes occasionally from the Daily Mail to read alternative views and start to think for yourself. Some of this stuff is idealistic tosh but it poses some interesting questions and if you can't see that naked unregulated hungry hippos capitalism does not work then you should really open your eyes.

No, I think he said "F*** off. Seriously."

He did also say, 'I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas on uncivilised tribes', so you may want to take his words with a pinch of salt.

It offers no alternative whatsoever, it is a diatribe of cliches that can be used to justify any sort of change or alternative system. Give me one practical example of how their "alternative society" would work.
