Capitalism is the economic/political theory in which it is assumed that all men are selfish and look to achieve one's self interest rather than altruism assuming that if each individual wishes to do well, he or she will do as well as his or her ability will so allow (survival of the fittest).

There are extreme equity issues with capitalism, but it still remains the best economic system used to date using the modern standard. While true equality is only a dream in modern liberal democracy, the lowest class is still better off than the lowest class in other economic systems.

In the meantime, many live without the luxuries of the wealthy. However the fact that most can live in a middle class in relative comfort supports the benefit for the greatest amount of people. Realistically, somebody will always be proletariat (bottom feeder).
Capitalism is the economic system in which THE MAN screws everyone else.

A system of :

Screw the people.

Screw the government.

Screw the earth.
Profit = Yes.

People = Herds of cows used to be subliminally socialized to eat shit (see silicon dioxide, ammonium sulfate, etc), drink shit (Potassium Benzoate, etc), use shit (see Titanium dioxide, Propylene glycol, etc), get shit (see v984 advanced ipod), get more shit, make shit (see underpaid factory workers, outsourced jobs), do shit to other people, allocate who gets what shit (see demographic targetting, CEO $10bil, Employee $16/hr)

People = expendable mindless machines that need to consume as much shit as possible to generate dough (see tobacco) before they decay/die/deform due to carcinogens or some random-named unarticulable compound with adverse effects; entities that need to perform as much shit as possible in a finite amount of time; entities that need to be told to do nothing in order to do shit by using dough (see weight loss pills, automated services, work from home google ads, etc) ; entities that can be profited from by irrationality (see stock market)

Governments = An entity that needs dough to burn to perform social services, underground operations, propagandization but funded by private-sectored corporations, businesses, sponsorships, etc that use the above system to maximize profits
Continued...
Earth = A seemingly vast, infinite space of abundant resources to drill, eat, poke, cut, slice, chop, dice, burn, farm, blow up from which can be employed by expendable mindless machines (see foreign workers) to get from and to produce the necessary shit (see goods and services) by which other expendable mindless machines (see marketers) try to sell shit to other expendable mindless machines (see consumers) to invest in expendable mindless's machines (see stock market) capability to sell shit by which expendable mindless machines don't really need but perceive the need anyways despite having a miserable quality of life even after purchasing shit that rusts out in 6 months or have not been used

Something people hate for scores of reasons.
Something people like for one reason.
Capitalism=profit. Stop saying you "value individual rights" or "free market". If you really did believe in those, you'd be a socialist. Individual rights are oppressed in capitalism as companies are unaccountable private tyrannies. Markets aren't free when they oppress people like that. Your capitalism wouldn't exist if it weren't for the government-the Reagan administration was the most protectionist government ever. He's your champion of free market capitalism, right?

Just admit it-your a capitalist because you're a selfish dick.

Religion has been called "the biggest lie in human history". For a thousand years the Church was a tyrannical dictatorship that used religion to control the uneducated masses. Now it has been replaced by CAPITALISM, a modern version that uses Banks as its places of worship where Lenders and Servicers officiate.

It remains the same stupid lie and the same rules apply.
Cloning and self-reproduction

When Capitalism becomes excessively inflated, it will burst and disperse into smaller units, often destroying many of its supporting hosts in the process. Each smaller unit will then starts feeding upon the remaining hosts to recreate the same uncontrollable monstrosity called CAPITALISM.

This entity is being worshiped with religious fervor nowadays.
