It may offend all of our leftist friends if I state that capitalism
is the only tried and trusted system of economics which works - or indeed - can
work.
The socialist alternatives have always had to be imposed at great
cost to liberty, freedom of speech and personal safety. Almost 200 million
deaths caused by marxism, in assorted forms during the twentieth century needs
to be our warning.
Capitalism can be evil in its own right but, with good intent, can
be largely controlled. It is based on principles of self-interest; it recognises
realities; it understands that people in general will only work truly hard for
their own benefit and it does not fall into the trap of thinking that Man in
general is a benevolent creature. (Think just how much that goes
against Scripture!)
Capitalism brings jobs, better quality of life, money into the
country.
The idea of 'the mixed economy' has been tried quite successfully,
in which capitalism and thinking about the betterment of the populace are melded
into one. Provided there are not too many socialist thought processes at work -
this can be the most successful model.
Ask the great unwashed what their alternative would be and all you
get is shudders as you realise that Stalinism could rise once more if they get
their way.
Why is it that these dangerous demoniacs are tolerated but the hard
right is not? They are BOTH rotten-to-the-core. The hard left are not just
deluded (that is the liberal left) they put any nation into grievous
peril.
