What do you think are the nine lies about capitalism?

Numero uno= is that capitalism can be expected to sort itself out with a fairness to all persons involved...

Capitalism needs a strong controlling leash [read: the populace] to control its unbridled greed.

===========================

addendum:

Why should one person be allowed to own the world and all avenues of production?

On the other hand, why should a select group of rich [read:effluent or is it affluent] own all avenues of production?

I don't think so.. 6 billion people own [read: have a right to] this world and the resources with it.

================================

If a family wishes to pass their "secret code" to their off spring that is fine until that secret code entails anti social behaviours...

Society collectively will deal appropriately with any anti social behaviours such as Hitler, Stalin, KKK, Jim Jones, David Koresh et cetera...

=============================

Does this help any?

How about the TEN lies of Socialism?

1. That those with whom the particular Socialist movement is concerned, comprise a single entity--if not composed of people with equal abilities, at least with people sufficiently plastic or malleable, that they may be improved by intrusive Government or by intrusive neighbors.

2. That those who succeed under Capitalism or "laissez faire," do so by exploiting the poor: By denying others the fruits of their own labor.

3. That virtue is in the numbers who adhere to a movement, and in technology; that increased population and modern technology (improved communication, transportation and weapons) render traditional social values obsolete.

4. That there is no Deity and no enduring truth that need be considered.

The corollarial propositions include:

5. That human equality (Communism) is a rational ultimate ideal; the issue, whether it is practical or whether it may be made practical.

6. That the poverty and harsh working conditions of labor in the days of the Industrial Revolution were both proof of the exploitation assumption (#2), and evidence that "social justice" requires either collective ownership of the means of production, or such regimentation of relevant operations as will collectivize use of the factors of production--as under the "New Deal" and "Great Society" in America and under National Socialism in Germany;--so that they will serve the utilitarian goals of an egalitarian collective, rather than those of private entrepreneurs who take risks in the hope of individual benefit.

7. That the needs of modern Society require that Education be controlled by central authority, not individual families or neighborhood based communities; and that a prime function of Education must be to prepare youth to accept the Social values of a broader collective, even if those values are totally at variance with familial values held sacred for generations.

8. That all individual rights come from a collective, and are neither Natural nor God given.

9. That (#4 & #8, being assumed) the end basically justifies the means; and an oft repeated lie may be justified if it tends towards that which is considered politically useful or correct.

10. That, despite dependence on the same assumptions and the tactics that flow from them, National Socialists (Adolph Hitler and his followers) were on the far Right--the opposite end of the political spectrum from Communism and other Socialist movements.

Capitalism is NOT fair, I dont know who ever said it was. LIFE is not fair, why are we so obsessed with "even playing fields"??? There will always be poor people, and there will always be rich people. People will die young, get screwed over, and be unhappy. The beauty of a Capitalistic society is that anyone who works (WORK being the key word) hard enough can succeed.
