No country is purly capitalistic or purely socialistic. You can create some other name for it but most peope will agree that the US has a capitalistic ideology and a capitalistic economy.

Most people are wrong. It is that simple. Most people have only the glimmering of an understanding of economics, of history, of the ways in which business operates. I have no problem with that, but I believe when educated, thoughtful people discuss a topic it is incumbent on them to do so from a more considered viewpoint.

 

Boerseun - so little time. Taxi waiting to whisk me to the airport. Two quick points, which I shall return to if this is still alive in a few days.

1. There has never been a communist state on the planet. Russia froze the progress towards communism at the socialism stage.

2. I don't think the Victorian reference is a strawman. Tell you what - I'll start a thread in Biology in a week or two addressing the over emphasis in the popular mind (and the mind of many scientists for that matter) of the competitive aspects of evolution. That will make my argument here a little clearer - I hope.

 

Bye.
