Now, I DO defend the right of other nations to self govern, and I CERTAINLY do not see capitalism as inherently better or more moral or more of service to humanity than socialism. 

Socialism is subject to corruption. Capitalism is corruption itself, codified into law. There is no perfect system - only less imperfect ones. Free enterprise in a socialist system (I should say Socialism, with a free enterprise component) is, I believe, the best possible economic system. Marxism is the worst economic system, in my view - with Capitalism hot on its heels.

I believe capitalism is of good service when the players are moral. I know, that’s a weakness because we are not moral.

Yer like all libs and neocons...

when busted...you run like a bitch

Where is CP.....please talk

Beneath my avatar, right under "money" on the far left, is an eyeball.

Poke it. 

Then read how many times I have answered his posts attacking you - how many times I have pointed out the flaws in his critiques of your posts. 

I gotta do me, bro - anything else is inauthentic. I gotta pick which hills look worth dying on. 

I did not read the post that stuck in your craw in the same way that you read it.

I am well aware that he is not fan of socialism - that he sees it through a lens provided by his capitalist masters. So I knew what he meant by "good post."

You're looking to corner him and rub his nose in ****. I'm not.

I do not believe so. I believe capitalism is DESIGNED to corrupt. And, as you point out, we are corruptible. 

I do not believe that socialism is DESIGNED to corrupt - though, again, we tend toward corruption. But when socialism is corrupted, we know the author of that corruption. And knowing your enemy is more than half the battle. In a capitalist system, the name of the enemy is utterly foreign to the tongues of the oppressed. 
 

Follow the money trail and discover those in the hive mentality. Greenies given to Sumela praising Russia and China burying America economically.
