Yes, I see your point made about corporatism being the root problem. Still, I think that that capitalism and corporatism are really intricately intertwined. What happens when a male Mantis looses its head?

lol I know what a revolutionary concept.

SO basically I'm saying this to you whiff1962 "Defining Capitalism; you're doing it wrong."
Aristotle100 (December 31, 1969 at 11:59 pm)
France is not a failed Socialist system, America's capitalist system is....This is not a failure of capitalism it is a failure of corporatism.

I get so tired of ignorant Americans always using France as an example of failed Socialism. News flash: France is not a failed Socialist system, America's capitalist system is, and needs repairing. Underread, undereducated Americans really are not the source of credibility.

The greater personal freedom comes at the cost of providing for ourselves, bearing our own burdens and living within our means. Gee, what a concept.

Hmm, interesting thought, Spaz. I suppose that's pretty feasible. Middle of last century the Republican and Democratic parties basically just switched sides to the point that little had changed apart from the names of the liberal and conservative parties. Could be that the Libertarians will become the reasonable-minded Republicans of 20 years ago but with a different name.

I honestly think the Libertarian party is going to replace the Republican party in the next 20 years if the Republicans don't get take the reigns away from the neo-cons.
