What is YOUR suggestion for the US as an alternative?

Come on, I can't WAIT to hear this.


Please make sure that it is a "real" system.

Oh, and it would be nice if this system allowed for individual freedom, property ownership, and the like.

Capitalism isn't good or evil. It's amoral. It's a system that has advantages and disadvantages.

I guess I'll mark you down as "+1 for keep it" then.

I'm just curious. I hear so many people on here lamenting on how bad it is, etc.

I don't seem to hear them now.

capitalism is great. It just has serious downsides that the stupid have turned into religious devotees of. The problem isn't capitalism it's stupid.

I am glad you asked because we already have a great example of a system that worked for decades before the Reagan Revolution: well regulated capitalism, a strong labor movement, and better controls on wealth accumulation.

Society has a pecking order.

I don't think it's possible to design a system that is equally beneficial to everyone.

Whatever system the people will tolerate will have to suffice.

It appears that in other threads a lot of people have just been bleating out their asses.

/kind of figured that.

Let's say there's room for optimization, and that things are deteriorating right now.

The only thing "evil" about capitalism is the resulting corporatism without effective regulations to prevent it.
