When you suggest that capitalism isn't working or at least open it up for discussion, do you mean it's not working for everyone, or just a certain demographic?
If the latter, who is that?
Also, if it's not working just for a certain group/demographic/culture/class or whatever, then by default it's working for the people not in that group, yes?
Or is there a 3rd option, working/not working/not proven?
Just interested to understand what the definition of "not working" is.

A full.balanced and intelligent explanation that.
Just why not? Surely if we claim to be a higher species we should be able to organise ourselves without the need to put self serving, control freaks in charge of us. Even mother natural manages to organise itself into some sort of self order.
See highlighted bold. We claim to be, we aren't. We're just monkeys who have evolved to have develop all kinds of fancy things.
TBH I just assumed those on this forum were intelligent enough to work out why for themselves...
Damn those opposable thumbs0 -

Look at nature: the fittest survive.
In the purest form of capitalism those who can't afford to eat or buy medical assistance will die. Any dilution of that is move to a less capitalist and more humane society. We can argue about how far along that line we go, but pure capitalism isn't a form of government, rather a capitulation to a system of giving value to things that lies somewhere between being uncontrollable and being controlled by those who have the most money for their own benefit.0 -
