I'm a Capitalist, but I cannot agree with those who constantly use "Individualism" as a rational for Capitalism.

I like Capitalism not because it is good for Me and Mine, but becuase it is best for the whole society. While there are "Individualists" who may also be Capitalists, this doesn't necessarily mean that this is the only reason for Capitalism.

If we are concerned about the good of all people, not just ourselves, we should embrace the system that uses our hands and minds efficiently, that produces the greatest gains for everybody. That's why, I'm a Capitalist.
