It’s worth repeating and reminding your friends and relatives that capitalism is the only economic system that respects individual rights. All alternatives to capitalism instill some form of master-slave relationship in which (to paraphrase Ayn Rand) people deal with one another by blood, whips and guns instead of voluntary free trade (dollars).

It’s worth repeating because the socialist are launching another volley in the quest to enslave humanity by trying to convince people to reject money, and instead embrace new socialist dictators who will force people to carry out their socialist whims. This volley is in the form of another Michael Moore regurgitation that blames the current recession not on the governments’ restrictive anti-capitalist policies, but on capitalism itself.

With the recent historic examples of the squalor and death-tolls of the Soviet Union and China, it’s amazing that the likes of Michael Moore are not condemned for the poison they vomit. It’s hypocritical that they have not already moved to a more “moral” country where more of their wealth is stolen away by some other special interest group, union or dictator. I suppose that the fuzzy-thinking products of teachers’ union education are ripe to accept these schemes in spite of all evidence.

If people want prosperity and wealth to share and spread around, people should be telling the governments to leave us alone, not tightening the chains on our freedoms.
