I guess you haven't been reading my posts, but I'll recap for you. Capitalism means absolutely no mixing of business and government. It means no government regulations on business. It means a lack of "no bid contracts" for companies like Halliburton. It means a totally and completely voluntary and free exchange of goods on a value for value basis with the market determining the value of the goods, services, and labor traded. It means a complete lack of any force and coercion. It means each and every person in each and every transaction is a winner. It means that everyone is allowed to compete to the best of their ability, and if they fail, they are not a victim of anything but their own inability to adapt, improvise, and bring better, cheaper, safer, and more efficient goods and services to the market.
Any use of force, fraud, coercion, trespass, violence, theft, or intrusion on the part of the free market on the part of anyone is the exact opposite of capitalism. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42501 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42512 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42529 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42530 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42562 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42565 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42566 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42577 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42601 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42602 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42603 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42604 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42605 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42639 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42640 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/42641 --- In [email protected], "Anna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Paul, please kindly tell me your definition of capitalism. > Anna > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Paul > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 6:18 PM > Subject: [Libertarian] Re: the truth.... > > > Absolutely wrong.
