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 Now it has been replaced by CAPITALISM, a modern version that uses Banks as its places of worship where Lenders and Servicers officiate.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.

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.

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"

A socioeconomic system based on financial subservience, minimalist government, the polarization of society, and the allocation of economic control to any number of petty, competing parties.
Usually coexists with commercialism and plutocracy.

"By using the means of production, the workers produces new goods which become the property of the capitalist. It is important to understand that even in theory the payment of the worker is not determined by the value of his product. Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society." - Albert Einstein

Three words: Does not work. Of course, neither does communism, but since people are evil in nature, we'll pretty much never be happy.
