Thank you for the comment. I was thinking Palahniuk on that last one, actually, though it wasn’t really intentional.

None of this is to say you lack originality.

Also, I’m pretty sure that asian girl is ourchair in drag, so I guess that means you’re the cat? ARE YOU A FUCKING CAT!?

Liberty rewards people. Capitalism is just an economic ideology and at this point favors the wealthy and promotes profits at the expense of people. In the long run it has the potential to move towards fascism. Why do I say fascism, I say it because of the social darwinist ideology you can see plainly in his article. The belief that some people deserve something, even if capitalism rewards those who don’t do anything actually. In fact the wealthy who do nothing are totally acceptable for survival but the poor who do nothing are purged from the system. And these people believe that is totally acceptable. It’s okay to purge a poor person but a rich person obviously earned what they have and deserve it.

Social darwinistic thinking with a belief that certain people deserve to be destroyed is a form of eugenics. Eugenics was very popular and quietly disappeared after world war II, for a very good reason. It was used by the Nazi’s, the weak of society were to be removed.

Capitalists love using this social darwinism as justification for the destruction of people’s lives. An example would be that a person that is in a wheel chair doesn’t deserve to exist and should be removed from society. That is what he is suggestion, even if he doesn’t realize it. The capitalists of course right now don’t do this directly, they do it indirectly.

The other problem is capitalism doesn’t reward based on actually value provided for society. Spending your life attempting to create a fusion process and failing all of it will go unrewarded. What if those notes somehow led to the process though down the road and we had nearly free energy? Capitalism doesn’t truly reward hard science that is based in constant failure and very unlikely to return short term gains.

Most things that we as a society need to strive for are going to be long term, maybe even multiple generational. At some point achievements may even need to be over centuries. These can’t be achieved with capitalism. Capitalism locks us into a box, it isn’t freedom.

One thing that can help us do those things though is liberty. Liberty doesn’t provide a box beyond respecting one another as equals. It’s the golden rule. Does current day capitalism respect the golden rule? If you answer that it doesn’t, then it doesn’t respect liberty either.
