I know these clips are long but trust me they are worth watching.
After you have watched them please try and defend capitalism as a system. I will be here to communicate with responders.
@Sienna: those two links ( among many others ) show the disaster of out of control capitalism.
They are a small way to show how capitalism doesn't work anymore for us.
I think the sooner we come to terms with this the sooner we can look for alternatives - and we weren't so brainwashed to fear 'socialism' we could ask the important question:
"Can't we do better than this !?"
Thank you for your reply regardless.

Social democracy is the better way to go. Combining the better parts of a free market economy with intervention by the state in public goods and other areas seems to be working really well for Northern European economies.

If your assumptions are wrong, and your methods are illogical, your criticisms of capitalism with also be wrong.
Posting links does not establish any critique of capitalism. If you can't be bothered understanding and representing your own assumptions and argument, don't bother posting.
But if you can,then what's your argument?
