Clem 3:16 - For Capitalism so loves and serves the world, that any who pray in its name and believe in its precepts, shall not suffer brutality but shall walk the sunny halls of democracy, for ever and ever.

You deny these are your precepts?

Good - progress. Deny your God, and join us heathens, Clem.

Yes - and the second most pure capitalism just HAPPENS to exist in a brutal authoritarian **** hole. Coincidence? Hmm... What was the other modern miracle of free market redemption you threw out there? PINOCHET'S CHILE? You're not seeing a pattern here, Clemmie?

If capitalism is so **** great, Clem, THEN WHY DOES IT REQUIRE MURDER, POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS, POLICE STATE BRUTALITY AND CIA OPERATIVES TO IMPLEMENT?

And among the most brutal yes. Very capitalist, very repressive, very authoritarian. Why do you keep covering this ground? I have agreed a thousand times, but you need a thousand and one.

CHAFF.

You have already fled a challenge to name those wonderful parts, Clemtard. You've got nothing. You've got low taxes and low regulations. And that is SUPPOSED - according to you - to lead to human rights, democracy, and a naturally occurring, reasonably just distribution of the wealth across a broad swath of society - yes?

But it never works like that. You can present no cases of your dogma proving true. and I can present Singapore - your OWN gold standard - as proof against it.
