Capitalism sucks!

Don't mistake crony corporatism and quasi-fascism for true capitalism. A free market has little or no gov't intervention, which is completely unlike our system where the federal government has been intervening on behalf of the most well-connected corporations and special interests whilst parading as being "free market" - nothing could be further from the truth. A market economy is not even a system, really. It's simply how people trade goods and services without coercion.
 
Yes our government intervenes, True free market capitalism takes advantage of the little people and causes suffering.
Thwe govt used to intervene more on the behalf of the little people. In more recent years it has been intervening on the behalf of business. Answering to the false cry of if it is good for business it is good for America.

There have been two ideologies in modern times crazy enough to have a sincere belief that in the absence of government society would naturally form around their system. That would be anarcho-communism and anarcho-capitalism. In fact, in absence of state there is just chaos, and militias and fighting warlords become the primary means of acquiring goods.

But STATE is just the complete dominance of one group of thugs over all others. It's not more evolved.

I think mankind has reached his pinnacle of evoloutin for a few thousand years.

We may progress tech wise, but socially we have pretty much peaked for the forseeable future.

Just because someone writes something down does not make it truth.
"Everyone" knew the world was flat.
That man could not fly and that Bush would be a great president.

So just because you say social and physical evolution are completely different, doesn't make it so. Thanks.
