Personally, I have always been in favour of Capitalism -when it is young and fresh.
Like any competition, the longer it goes, the more contestants drop out, or are bought out, merged with or destroyed, until only the canniest, or more often the most ruthless and unscrupulous are left.
That's where we are today, Ladies and Gentlemen. Competition on any notion of fairness is a thing of the past. Instead of being offered a genuine choice, we are told (no longer asked) to take the sh!t we are given, and smile while we eat it.
Even in politics the choices are vanishing. Can anyone really tell the difference between right wing Labor, and left wing Liberal?
Both parties have embraced either economic rationalism or neoliberalism; two terms for the same policies.
Goodbye Capitalism, hello Corporatism.
