That is capitalism... untainted by any vestige of Marxist-like socialism. Sure sounds a lot like the law of the jungle. Or of a dysfunctional society where the bully boys get all the rewards and everyone else gets to be a victim. Is this really the kind of world you choose to live in? I'm shocked if you actually think this is the best possible way to organize human societies. If I were to think of a modern societies untainted by vestiges of Marxist like socialism, I'd have to conclude that Germany from 1933 to 1945, or Japan from the mid '20s through 1945 would be a prime examples. Perhaps you think these noble experiments in obliging the capitalist class were the height of statehood and human experience? Just wondering, Ray :)
