    Fuck knows why i'm getting into this debate, nevertheless...

    HotRod, the last time you visited your local deli store have you noticed the wall of soft drinks in the fridges? Are you aware all those drinks are made by ONE corporation? So you get a choice of dozen drinks but they all come from the same place. You can say at least you have that choice as opposed to 4 drinks in a communist regime but under communist regime people don't walk around harping about how "free" they are.

    And as to your "which system you want" question - well, it all depends. If i was sick i wouldn't want to be in the US as i would never know if the sickness will force me into bankruptcy. If i wanted generally quality food - all but capitalist (unless i was into extreme organic as organic movement develops mainly in systems rotten by capitalism). If i wanted good social safety i would pick a socialist country (mothers getting plenty of rest after childbirth, this kind of stuff). If i wanted quality entertainment i would pick social democracy such as France or Germany with rich cultural traditions. The ONLY category where capitalism shines is straight up business - that is if i wanted to run my business i would go with a system like in US.

    • or voluntary servitude. most known aspect in the past that differentiated a free person vs a serf was tax on your labor. it was known that you own your time andyurimon
    • your labor. it was not touchable because when you own something no one can touch it under a rights of property system.yurimon
    • So how can someone apply fees to things you own like land, and labor for its use if you really own it.? not talking tax on commerce. like sales tax. thats ok.yurimon
    • time n labor was also seen as a transfer. nothing is gained. you transfer your time in exchange for something. you lose time for money. its a transfer if youyurimon
    • own your time and doesnt count as a gain or income.yurimon
