    Hi All:

    In the interest of a fair and balanced look at socialism vs.
    capitalism, the following from Adolf Hitler speaks volumes:

    "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic
    system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair
    salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to
    wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we
    are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."
    (Speech of May 1, 1927)

    Lest we forget: "Nazi" stands for "National Socialist Workers Party."

    Comparisons of Bush, staunch advocate of capitalism, with Hitler, the
    murdering socialist, are ludicrous to the point of insanity.

    Hello Platt,
    As a socialist myself, it may surprise you to hear that i agree with what you
    are saying.
    As a capitalist yourself, i feel sure you find those who kill in order to
    make capital abhorrent?
    How do capitalists kill? Well, if we multiply all those who died in the Twin
    towers by a factor of 100, then we arrive closer to the sum of people who died
    from smoking related diseases every year for the last couple of decades due
    to the capitalist exploitation of biological value. i.e. Tobacco.

    Also, the first crop to be genetically modified in order to enhance its yield
    was in fact tobacco (in the US); not to feed people, but to satisfy the
    production of capital.
    Yes, Hitler was off his chump, but surely capitalism persuades people they
    want something they don't need, traps people who need what they don't want, and
    then sells it to them!

    It is easy to identify a socialist killer, but rather less easy to identify a
    capitalist legal purveyor of harm maybe?

    All the best,
    Mark.
