CAPITALISM IS THE DEVIL
- No, capitalism is not the Devil. The Devil is a character in some religious books. Capitalism is an economic system. Please do not confuse people. --71.146.40.23 05:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Capitalism is not an economic system, it is the absence of an economic system.
[edit] Discussing socialism, communism, liberalism, &c.
It is important to say what different people think about capitalism. We need to do this so that readers can tell what other views have to say about it. However we do not need to present the history of communism or lots of details on what it says, or what lots of different communist writers say (like Marx vs Lenin vs Trotsky vs Mao). Simple statements about the Marxist view of capitalism are enough. The same is true of libertarian views on mixed economies -- we do not need to talk about Hayek and the economic calculation problem, but we do need to mention that not everyone thinks capitalism needs government intervention. --Fubar Obfusco 00:39, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
