This was the complete statement: And I would agree that the same statement can be made of capitalism: the pure version, unsullied by real world practicalities, is a horrible disaster. Capitalism needs some amount (not as much as we have) of government control and regulation. Pure capitalism is like anarchy: it is intrinsically unstable. Eventually one person or a small oligarchy own everything and everyone else is essentially enslaved. And revolution follows. Does a reasonable form of capitalism require enforcement at gunpoint? No; it is probably the best attainable economic system.
