I love it. Every system is flawed to some extent, but capitalism works on so many levels. So much effeciency is carved out, and consumers have so much choice ...... can anyone, even the tree huggers, seriously believe differently? the poor misguided fools

Capitalism is a fine system, but it needs government oversight to avoid corruption and it needs regulation to assure that external costs, like pollution prevention or remediation, cannot be unfairly foisted upon people not profiting from their creation.

1. You added an editorial comment about "tree-huggers" to your question about the success story of capitalism. This is known as "free association" and establishes nothing about "tree huggers" other than your personal opinion of them. Thank you for your personal opinion. Now what was the question again? Oh yes, "great success story?"
2. "the poor misguided fools": Insulting intolerance - Jesus could not have said it better. Oh, you do know Jesus, don't you?
3. "Mans" is the possessive form of "Man". You forgot the apostrophe. In fairness, you were probably distracted by hordes of poor, misguided tree huggers who don't believe in capitalism. By the way, could you publish the results of your survey? You know, the one showing that the majority of "tree-huggers" don't believe in capitalism? Or is your believe based on - no, it can't be - a BIAS????
4. "the poor misguided fools" should start with a capital "T".

Although sound good but has failed in many front. Even in America, there are so many people poor. And because of Capitalism some people get easy way to become rich by crushing others, bringing more pain and misery to others. There is no protection or benefit for poor in Capitalism.
Read about ISLAM and its ZAKAT system....

Capitalism is about making money by providing the least value you can get away with. There is no thought of 'service' in the mind of the capitalist.
Capitalism also depends upon 'growth' and 'increased demand'. In a finite planet this ultimately cannot prevail.

Yeah, it beats all other systems, look at the Soviets with their communism, or the Nazi's with their Socialism, or even the Italians with their Fascism. All failed. Capitalism has stood the test of time.

by virtue of the fact iam not a tree hugger, does this disbar me from being a kapitalist, or can i hug a goat instead, remember this
little fleas have lesser fleas upon the backs to bite em, lesser fleas have smaller fleas ad per invinitum.
capitalism works becase it is based on me wanting more than you.
wether or not i hug anthing, it is based on mans infinite greed.

greed, exploitation, and commercialism, and people wanting more and more and losing sight of the important things in life is good?
everything is great in theory in its pure form,
but do not think what you call Capitalism IS anymore
ps not all communist/socialist coutries have failed
