<p>the fact that che gueverra is used as a marketing scheme, LOL!</p>
<p>Incentives make me love capitalism.</p>
<p>That's why capitalism is so effective. It doesn't reward apathy coughsocialismcough</p>
<p>I <3 socialism.</p>
<p>I h8 socialism. Capitalism all the way!</p>
<p>"the fact that che gueverra is used as a marketing scheme, LOL!"</p>
<p>Hehe. Ironic, isn't it?</p>
<p>What I love about capitalism is that every man is the author of his own destiny.</p>
<p>I am extremely sorry, but America is starting to look like communistic society more and more. Go social evolution! :)</p>

<p>Yes...and no. We are still beholden to market forces.</p>
<p>Besides, I'd say that liberal democracy is still necessary for that. There are plenty of capitalist societies that don't give people a lot of free will (Japan, for example.)</p>

<p>Please. Whatever it is that you're on, you must stop taking it.</p>
<p>Socialism > Capitalism</p>
<p>Would you rather have some work hard and be rich/middle class, while some don't work as hard and stay in the lower classes (as in capitalism), or have everyone be poor (as in socialism)?</p>
<p>Granted, I will give you that even though some may work hard, they don't get a pay-off.</p>
<p>.-_-.</p>
<p>A balance! A balance!</p>
<p>Look at Europe.</p>
<p>me.duh,</p>
<p>Which part?</p>
<p>Every man is always going to be the author of his own destiny, by definition. Some forms of government/economic systems just allow far more possible ending locations.</p>
<p>You know why Che Guevarra's image is used for marketing purposes though? No one has ever claimed the rights to his famous picture so it's actually in the public domain, something most of your free market fundamentalist do not support. If you wanted to, you could probably make your own Che brand t-shirts and sell them to suckers on the street for $10.</p>

<p>I know tons of "free market fundamentalists" who would probably make an argument in favor of more public domain goods.</p>
<p>First, there's no need to put free market fundamentalists in quotes. It's a serious name.</p>
<p>Second, I didn't say all free market fundamentalists were against the public domain, just most. There's no need to point out the blantantly obvious.</p>
<p>I put it in quotes not because it's not a serious name-- of that I'm well aware-- but because I feel like you used it to refer to a group of people who are not necessarily worthy of that title (for better or for worse.)</p>
<p>There are plenty of people, other than Sorosites, who believe that regulation has good applications. Not everyone is an objectivist, at any rate.</p>
<p>And cool down the tone a bit.</p>

<p>I just meant that Europe is quite a bit more socialist than the United States, yet there still are many "rich" folks around.</p>
<p>Right, but it really depends on the country. England has really given up a great deal of its socialization since Thatcher.</p>
<p>But in general, yes. You're right.</p>
