You might have problem with this, and it would not be odd as human history has witnessed all sorts of elitist, in the end what are those creatures attempting but to dehumanise themselves. For example, you would oppose re-distribution of land (and hence wealth) in a post-imperialist agrarian society in the name of "Distribution of poverty and collateral misery" but is it really that or is it going back to the fundamental equal right of the humans on the natural resources. Furthermore, you allude that only in a capitalist framework wealth can be created? Here you have confused economic differences by greater wealth. Also, the difference between Socialist and Capitalist economic-political systems does not lie within the process of creation but within the processes of distribution, consumption, and control of tools of production. <BR/>A brief glance at the economic situation of russian, nicaraguan, cuban societies during socialist periods would clarify it further. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, you are not a graduate of Milton Friedman School of Socialism, are you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045504182959712341.post-58076618485045755822007-07-15T11:12:00.000-07:002007-07-15T11:12:00.000-07:00I'm glad you agree with my idea.

I have seen condescending smiles and even "how sweet of you" kind of comments. They cannot fathom that I am mighty unhappy with the status quo and would like to generate wealth while changing it.<BR/><BR/>From today, I am an activist entrepreneur :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
