I would still support capitalism over socalism on practical grounds. However even these practical grounds require a moral jugement to decide that a certain practical result is better.

Tim, I guess we're just wired differently. You apply a moral perspective to everything. I can, and have on this thread, argue the inherent flaw of socialism without making a single moral judgment. I've simply argued why, over time, it's doomed to fail to meet its own objectives. Nothing moral in that. It just doesn't work. Now, if I can analyze and make judgments about all those things without bringing morality or truths into it, then it's not an inherently moral question. You're choosing to look at it that way. Which is fine if that's the way you want to look at things, but it's not correct to say that it has to be that way. If it had to be that way, then I couldn't do it differently.
