capitalism

The social system that centers on the production and accumulation of wealth. Originates from the latin word "capita" which means "head" as in "heads of cattle".

Capitalism cannot easily fail, as it can rename "wealth" to whatever is suitable to ensure its survival.

Capilla

Quite possibly the best family of PKers ever to walk the Lothlorien and Deadly Temptation realms.

As you type who, you see two Capilla family members, and all you can hear is someone chanting, "Rape, rape, rape, rape..."

anarcho-capitalism

An oxymoron. A capitalist society cannot be anarchist, simply because wealth equals power. Whenever someone gets rich, he gains power over others, thus effectively nullifying all principles anarchism is predicated upon.

Proponents of anarcho-capitalism and other right-wing libertarians only want the state off their backs so they can exploit the workers even more.

capitalism

Sorry Uberman-you are mistaken. Capitalism is not based on greed, but rather based on the idea that the fruit of a man's labor belong to that man to decide how to use. It simplifies the barter system, by standardizing the trade mechanism into a form of "capital" (hence the term).

With capitalism, if I grow a better crop, I get to keep that crop and trade it for capital, which I can then use to purchase things I need. Rather than have to trade my wheat for chickens I don't need, to trade those for the iron I do need.

Under socialism or communism, individuals do not own/control the fruit of their labor, but rather the community or the Government does.

Not a very good thing.

Perversion of anything is bad...but don't blame the mechanism for the faults of humans.

Communism is where the government controls what's produced, socialism OWNS what's produced, and capitalism says "I earned it-it's mine...now bite me"

Capitalist

Someone who eats penis, and afterwords, denies doing so. This person follows a corrupt from of government in which the rich flourish and survive, while the poor and middle classes suffer. Capitalists also seem to think that poor people choose to be poor, and that life is only worth living if you have more money than everyone else.

guy1: dude did you see that capitalist eating penis?!
guy2: yeah. i'm sure glad i'm not a capitalist!
