Capitalism has failed. Now we can see it's inherent flaw. We sold our future and now the future has come.
Fascism has failed. Maybe we ought to give capitalism a shot.
[QUOTE]
Capialism has indeed failed as it is not a viable system. Government is always called upon to bail-out the Capitalists and to provide a cheap labor-force. Therefore Capitalism seems to regularly turn into Facism.
However, what has not failed and what I believe has not been tried is Free-Enterprise. People buying selling and trading in a free manner without government control. I suspect that after peak-Oil when the Giant Gov. and Facist control systems collapse what will emerge is Free-Enterprise. (At least I hope so).
The worst system that could emerge over the short term is a type of Theocratic Facism. I wouldn't even mention it except it seems to have become the system favoured and striven for by a large part of our population. If it comes into being God help us all!
