I didn't think much when I said this and I could NEVER have imagined that saying this makes me feel so good - after 13 years of transferring from socialism to capitalism I began to long for a part of me that began to vanish 13 years ago - it feels good to have a boundless living soul again. Capitalism is a disease that robs your joy of life or transforms it into something perverse - FULL STOP

Another thought:

It isn't any particular system that robs us. It is abuse of power within any system that robs us. It doesn't matter what system it is, they are all capable of being abused by those in power.

Just about any system could work to a great degree for the good of humanity, but for the abuse by those in power.

Here is the thing:

If there is a king and he is corrupt, or if there is a benevolent king with corruption beneath and hidden from his view ... boom ... it starts to go badly.

Consider the case of rule by council (any council):

Secret pacts between the council members, or groups of council members ... boom ... it starts to go badly.

Same for elected officials (Nixon)
Same for business leaders (ENRON)

The list goes on ... etc. etc.

It isn't the system as much as it is the abuse of power by those ruling the system or hidden within the system. This includes Socialism, Communism, this-ism, that-ism, isn't it the truth?

I do not recommend Anarchy as it is the lack of any system at all. I'll just sit here and deal with the Capitalism as best I can. Got a better idea?
