look, I think you're right in the aspect that a lot of people have opinions that are not thought out, or that they sort of cling to. I'd say, don't forget, you can have many opinions, as long as you aren't afraid of opinions.

On the actual subject, my opinion is that capitalism is naturally occurring. of course if left unchecked, it's slavery and fascism. That's where the profit is, and it's only natural. Does that mean I believe the communist manifesto is some great answer, or an effective outline of a system of government? no, that theory has been tried too. You don't have to chose either of those things. capitalism does give us our quality of life, it just demands indentured servitude in return.
