@Anthony Hazard
Your first sentence is quite representative: “Haven’t time to read it all yet”. All the different aspects discussed in your long and unstructured comment strengthen the articles main argument. Money, enclosure, violence and warfare, exploitation and poverty are all some of the main driving forces of capitalism. Freedom is not one. And if freedom for the “first world” means enslavement and impoverishment of the “rest world”, then our conceptualization of freedom is quite distorted. You cannot divorce today’s achievements from the history that led them. And in case of capitalism, this history is one of blood and fire, that’s for sure.

Haven’t time to read it all yet. Amazed the vast number of filters this person, hides behind to defend this “uter nonsense.” Apparently he thinks those workers work for free. In fact they worked for money. The Money only capitalism can provide. patent rights which makes invention and innovation possible. Since Money is in fact what makes the world go round. Those workers eat raise children, inspire of those anti-capitalist. The USSR, didn’t allow property rights. They became proficient at copying, stealing, others invention. Without, patent rights no one can afford the time and effort, to invent or innovate anything sence “time” and “money” are interchangeable. Pilots don’t fly airplane’s Money does.Solders don’t fight wars money does. There’s nothing without money. Capitalism is the most certain producer of money. Capitalism is the source of freedom. Without property rights manufactured weapons of self defense would not exist. You point to all these laws which restrict rights. Without laws and power provided capitalism. The human race we would spend our time hiding from predictors and other humans as those mean old right ringers point out freedoms isn’t free and nothing else is free. If your male tell me about all the FREE sex you enjoyed. I’m sure you envey all those free riders in Europe (read socialist) who remained free because the the closest thing to capitalist nation. US, payed there way we built hundreds ICBMs thousands of B52. We guarded Europe with millions of American soldiers. Property rights gave us all this power 44yrs of sacrifice gave the rest of the world a chance to one of the greatest disasters in human history. None of our enemy’s had patent right. They all went down when there citizens could no longer. Maintain the physical strength required. I notice your writings are freely available. A good indication of there actual value. Perhaps it would be better for you to go live a year or two. Mile just south of the DMZ South Korea, live some place where poor means you didn’t eat last week you haven’t eaten this week and next week is just to far away. See what it’s like to live in a place where the most dangerous thing you can do is walk on land that isn’t being farmed. Land that isn’t farmed is a clear certainty that your looking at acmine field. These mine fields are cleared because it is just to great an investment when at any moment “Joe Chink” could come guns blazing and destroy everything hundreds of generations have suffered to build. A place they could call home. Where ever you find monster governments you will find the USA there in some way trying to help. Have no fear you won’t find the troops of those semi-socilist Nordic countries. These Nordic countries want peace through out the world so badly that they will let American lives be spent there .
Sorry but got to go. I really enjoy my capitalist breakfast
