Dreamangel,

Explain? What are you saying with your post? Is it wrong for me to question the fundamental mechanisms of Capitalism, considering that last few weeks of experience in the Western economy? Is it wrong for me to ask questions that might lead to a better way of life for us all? I did not endorse socialism, I was merely asking everyone to consider ways that would work better than what we have now. Maybe Capitalism IS the most fair way, given our nature as a species (war, crime, etc.). Maybe we could revive once lost forms of the exchange economy (credit without interest, etc.). Maybe the markets are the best way. I don't know. I was hoping for constructive stuff here, not just "go move to Russia if don't like it."

Anyone else?
