"A term like capitalism is incredibly silppery, because there's such a range of different kinds of market economies. Essentially, what we've been debating over—certainly since the Great Depression—is what percentage of a society should be left in the hands of a deregulated market system. And absolutely there are people that are at the far other end of the spectrum that want to communalize all property and abolish private property, but in general the debate is not between capitalism and not capitalism, it's between what parts of the economy are not suitable to being decided by the profit motive. And I guess that comes from being Canadian, in a way, because we have more parts of our society that we've made a social contract to say, 'That's not a good place to have the profit motive govern.' Whereas in the United States, that idea is kind of absent from the discussion." -Naomi Klein
What Naomi meant: If it looks bad, call it capitalist. If it looks good, call it socialist my comrades.
What we really need is for all of these socialists to move into one of these Central / South American shit holes and show me exactly how socialism works. Put other people’s pesos where their mouth is.
