GhostwriterDoF: In Capitalism, when speculators make bad bets (commit fraud and other crimes) they go bankrupt. Today, when they crash, they steal the wealth of society through bailouts, and soon will be confiscating the funds in savings accounts and seizing property, and then imposing those debts on the whole populations of countries through austerity measures and dismantling social programs.
All of this is unsustainable of course, but you can expect nothing less than blind greed from the Interests of Business. In the end it will be up to the people to rise up and clean up this mess, hopefully through peaceful means...
...perhaps we should be calling the current system financial pathogenism then? :)
I'm all for communism myself (mind you, not orthodox, but more like Tito), or at the very least extreme socialism; Even though I myself am not at all fond of violence, I don't really see how the current situation could be resolved without knocking the heads of some upper class gits together?
Since you are obviously better informed than I am, how would you see this "rising up of the people" work? (purely out of interest)
