• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Hey everyone

Essentially, I agree with you. The violence of communism is the one area where I have a serious problem with it, but as far as the evidence goes of Marxism being a science I remain convinced that it is closer to the truth than the alternatives I am aware of. I just hope that we can learn from our mistakes, or else we are condemned to repeat them all over again.

And those of us who do learn from history are condemned to sit by helplessly while the others repeat it.

The least worst way to distribute scarce resources that have alternative uses is through pricing. Prices are the least worst way to distribute scarce resources that have alternative uses. Capitalism is an economic system controlled by price moves. That's it; that's all it is. There are many forms of capitalism. A free market is a market in which individuals act in their own self interests to the benefit of others. That's what I do as a masonry contractor; I act in my own self interests to the benefit of my men and my customers. To the extent that I am of benefit to them, I will in turn benefit. The unique element that makes free market capitalism the least worst economic system is its mutually voluntary nature.
