The “capitalism” article is really bad. So bad in fact that I refuse to dignify it with a rebuttal. I do hope you link to it to illustrate how meaningless this type of ideological screed really is. In contrast, I would like to provide you with a link to an article by someone who is actually not afraid to think critically, including about his own opinions: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8655106/Im-starting-to-think-that-the-Left-might-actually-be-right.html
