  1. People who preach hatred for capitalism need to turn in their computers, smartphones, video games and designer clothes and pick up a pick, shovel, hammer, or hoe and go to work for the government's "collective" unit.  I'm sure the first time they get a blister or things don't go their way,  they will cry "oppression" and want another ideology.

  2. Ascendaeus What then... altruism?  Hahahaha!!! Hardly! History is full of the "altruistic" inventors who spent much of their lives defending their patents and asserting their ownership of their inventions and the right to profit therefrom. Kind of like the socialists and communists who enjoy the profits from the sales of their writings.  Hilarious indeed!

  3. Ascendaeus You've got some strange ideas of how capitalism works.  Most geniuses are not interested or capable of running a business... so if you had to wait for them to mass produce and market their inventions, they would NEVER be available to the public.  Most "geniuses" are more than happy to sell their inventions for the right incentives... like Samuel Morse, Alexander Graham Bell, Orville Wright, Colonel Sanders, etc., etc. And businessmen (capitalists) are more than happy to pay those incentives if they can make money by doing so.  As for killing for inventions, I'm not sure who you are talking about... the Mafia maybe? The CIA? Sounds like too much TV to me.
