> So to summarize: There is no perfect political or economic system (a reflection more of the imperfection of Human Beings than a lack of effort) Given the choices, however, anyone who has ever so much as seen a history book will pick free market democratic captialism without so much as a second thought.So you're just going to accept things the way they are, and not even
think to make things better. TINA (there is no alternative) is a myth.
I don't think you really believe that the capitalist democracy is the
best real economic system that humans can come up with. If people
didn't shake this myth a few hundred years ago, we'd all still be living
under a king of some sort, with much less freedom than we have today.
If humans are so "imperfect", how did we get this far? How much farther
can we go?Kris
None.
