. Thank you John for the links. Chaz , I am gaining so much respect you and your ability to state a concept or viewpoint. Your post above deserves repeating: The natural tendency of unbridled capitalism is the polarisation of wealth and power. By the 1900 we had a situation where those that worked t...

. I'm injecting some facts into this discussion although I know that this discussion is not about facts, it's about feelings. There is a certain taste, a feel, of some discussion topics presented here at the Philosophy Now Forums. The topics themselves seem like they start out in left field and the ...

. Dawn you wrote in your original post on this thread: I think it could be possible to have a communist attitude towards 'basic needs' (defining basic is difficult) and a capitalist attitude towards 'luxury items'. http://www.voanews.com/english/news/China-Cracks-Down-on-Would-be-Easter-Congregants-...

. Dawn , you mentioned, If China became as rich as it should be noone would be able to afford to trade with them and Chinas unemployment rate would be through the roof and civil war would erupt killing millions of people.

. And I respectfully bow back to you Typist , for we must share a common understanding in our perception of what TRUTH may be. And I will assume that Chaz and duszek also share our common understanding of what TRUTH must be. I'm kind of focusing my attention on understanding who I am and what I am n...

. Hi Chaz ! For me, things are going unbelievably well , as far as the US?...I would say, not so good. However, when looking at it philosophically, everything created has a beginning, a middle, and an end. I think America had a enjoyed a rocket-shot to the top of economic and emotional highs. I thin...

. Notvacka I think you are DEAD NUTS ON. I could not improve upon your response in the least. Well written Notvacka. Allow me to quote you: I think the title of this topic contradicts itself.
