>as a system (and one of the worst), capitalism falls within that danger
zone

John:
Genuinely? One of the worst? Compared to what? This isn't intended purely as
a rhetorical thing,
but which actual existant systems are you setting Capitalism up against? Pax
Romana? The rule of
the Pharoahs?

Welcome to the discussion. 
Since global capitalism is the system that rules the world where I live
(which is not the Roman Empire or Ancient Eqypt) it's the system I deal
with. 
Compared to what we might do with the world we live in, in terms of treating
each other humanely and with love, it's a terrible way to arrange things. 

Maybe you'll stick around and remain a part of our discussion?
