I too agree that money is not everything or even the most important thing. Really its just a tool to accomplish certain goals. Also, I am not saying that capitalism is perfect, especially if everyones focus was solely on money. Maybe someday someone will come up with something better. But as far as creating a free society where you live and die by your choices, its a pretty good one.
Also have you ever noticed that most of the injustice in the world has occured in non-free, non-capitalistic societies.....

That's basically what the Church or Caliphs did in their time.
DO you relay trust the people to be responsible with monitoring scientific and economic developments? What if someone wants to break away and make a capitalist society somewhere else? the only way to stop him is to kill or arrest him. but what if people want to do what this person does? How do you stop society from cracking into 2?
Also, no, the right words do not move everyone. Some people are just closed to change. How on Earth is it that creationism continues on with all the evidence against it? a whole third of the US is creationist. This is the simple fact. Once you are tied to one way, rarely do you change. Just look at yourself! You are a dedicated communist with no vision of making capitalism work. So you, by your very nature, is proof.
And then, what happens when someone wants to leave the planet to make their own society elsewhere? What happens when that society, generations later, comes back to claim the Earth as their own? How will your society stop this? Because the only way you can is through destructive means. Sometimes, some people cannot be stopped. The "sick million" I mentioned. You cannot, and will not, ever have society under one system, one government, or one way.

i am dirt poor and i work my rear end off, so don't call poor people lazy. i am not on assistance and hope i don't have to, and even if i tried,they don't help divorced males with children who have to pay child support!
the way in which all people could survive and live a better life has already been destroyed and that is tribal or the clan system. take care of youself with out government of any sort is the only way the human species can survive. i advocate dropping the bomb and start the evolutionary process over from scratch!

Hey you just need a good idea and find a road to that idea. Poverty is a state of mind, or a choice.
