obviously. If you look at the standard of living in capitalist countries and compare it to non capitalist countries, you will have a good laugh, non capitalist countries standard of living is a joke

I am torn. Obviously, people are better off in capitalist countries, as far as the quality of life goes. But the lifestyle and social climate capitalism breeds are very detrimental to humanity(i.e endless greed, putting profits over one's well being, etc.)

I kind of don't. I am completely non-competitive. I see no need for *more*. I'd be happy in a commune with the possibility of a few luxuries now and then. All this push, push, push just wears me out.
I also don't like the way capitalism pushes some people down so low and offers them no opportunity to even help themselves. Not everyone is on a level playing field. I believe each is responsible for the welfare of all.

A true capitalist has ambition and seeks profit. It is not done at the detriment of another. What we have now is greed and avarice. That is a totally socially bereft attitude in society today.

Of course 'we' do, because we have been brainwashed into believing that any other system is not good for us
'We' really think that its correct for a very minority group to own and control 85% of the wealth. So 'we' will believe almost any old cra*.

Americans? Of yes, I do think America is in love with capitalism.

American capitalism is far from perfect. But it's a damn sight better than anything else the world has ever seen.

Depends...are we talking politically or socially?
Politically is absolutely something I agree with. Business competes and the buyer wins.
Socially...well, when capitalism starts to run morality, we have a separate monster altogether that isn't quite so welcome.
