Two of the greatest tragedies in terms of the pointless loss of life were the early soviet era (pre-Stalin) and the Maoist cultural revolution.

let me see if I've got this socialism right? Someone works like a demon all thier days and ends up with the same lot in life, as some workshy unwashed bin dipper. I think Capitalism seems a bit fairer.
Edited by serial thriller (28 May 2015 1.34pm) At some point someone called Wal-Mart worked his pips off to provide for his family and by hard work and luck he made a fortune, how the family administer that fortune is not for you to decide (or to distribute among your comrades). Much like Richard Branson, started off with one sh1t heap of a record shop, and through hard work, business savy, and persistence now has an empire, why should he just give at away to Jeremy Kyle types who make the three toes sloth look as productive as hive of bumble bee's. Last question, why is it always middleclass types who abhor the wealthy, is it because they really think they deserve to be as rich as Branson, or Lord Sainsbury, even though the only noteworthy they ever did was drive a bus for ten years ? Capitalism isn't perfect, but it sure is better than anything else out their.
This is how the Walmart family so beautifully administer their fortune; [Link]

Its worth of course noting, that Capitalism as proposed by Adam Smith, would reject the idea of mass profiteering at the expense of people. Capitalism can, and has, had moral and ethical forms, what we tend to demonize as capitalism tends to be free market monetarism (which has failed us on a fairly regular basis when applied - its a very idealistic form of Capitalism, based on false principles of 'trickle down effect').

There is a good reason why big business spends a lot of money on politics and politicians, it ultimately pays dividends. Of course, if you or I were accepting money from an interested party, to represent their interests, over that of our employers, we'd be corrupt and taking a bribe.

Of course, if you or I were accepting money from an interested party, to represent their interests, over that of our employers, we'd be corrupt and taking a bribe. Of course businesses should act within the law and be punished if they break the law. Apart from that, they should do all they can to maximise their profits. However, there is only so much they can do as profit is largely related to supply and demand. Profits are the index of what people want. Where high profits are being made, there is unsatisfied demand and the high profits will attract more capital and more energy into meeting it. Where low profits are being made, capital and energy are being wasted.
