Re: Capitalism is slavery
First off nobody is forced to work in a sweatshop. People do choose to work as much as that might be hard to understand from your paradigm.
The problem with fascist capitalism is not the "capitalism" part of the equation but instead the "fascism" part. Because what fascism is is a system of force. In a fascist capitalistic system you have leaders deciding where money will go, what businesses will do well, and what businesses will fail, regardless of what the market place might decide or want on it's own freely.
Capitalism on it's own and especially "free market" capitalism (also called liberal capitalism) is simply pure free choice and voluntarism at root. There is no force involved in pure liberal capitalism. It is people deciding and trading amongst each other in accord with their own wants and desires. It is simply one man deciding if he wants to trade an apple for an orange, with another man who is willing to accept apples for oranges. Make sense? Capitalism is the definition of freedom in economic terms.
Socialism is the opposite. Socialism in essence is the use of economic force and coercion against free people in accord with the morals of the collective and it's leaders. Socialism is a legitimized system of theft and redistribution against the will of those being taken from. It is immoral at root. For example; If a man came to your house and took part of your money by force would that be moral? what if 10 men came to your house and forced money out of you? What if 1,000 men came to your home and forced money out of you? What if 1,000,000 people came to your house and took your money by force? What if that same 1,000,000 people called themselves a government and named their theft "taxes"? Does that suddenly make it moral? Theft is theft my friend and simply giving it a different name does nothing to change that. Your mom taught you not to steal and I say your mom had a good head on her shoulders. ;)
