I thought Marxism was dead, I could not accept your assertions. Ayn Rand did
an excellent job of defining the morals and strengths of Capitalism in a
totally logical and objective manner.
Since I assume you are serious about your economic views, I suggested you
read the other side.
This list is not the place for my or your views on the world, so lets quit.
