Capitalism today is not actual capitalism. There is nothing in capitalist ideology that suggests you should forgive debt and bail out failed institutions.

I'll remind you of a quote from former UK Prime Minister Margret Thratcher:
"The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

Recent election results in France, Greece, and Russia show that the people are looking for alternatives, and that socialism was the best option left open to them.
Doesn't show they're ready to embrace it, just that it's the lesser of the evil options presented to them. Choice of socialism, neo nationalism, or extreme right wing Conservatism? What would you pick?

I've come to learn that just about anything that ends in 'ism' has a different meaning depending on who's using them... Both socialism and capitalism will inevitbly end in totalitarianism... And the like the poster above me said, we don't have true free market capitalism, we have crony capitalism

Germanicus: We all know that Capitalism works fine until eventually they run out of other peoples money to spend. The Capitalist's have run out of other peoples money to bail themselves out with.
As someone already pointed out, we don't have capitalism and there is no such thing as "other people's money", it all belongs to the Cronies who control the Crony Capital, you only borrow it ~ at interest, which is never printed.
As long as you are willing to continue trading off real property and items with real intrinsic value for fractional fraudulent fiat pieces of paper called dollars, they won't stop printing that paper until they have extracted the last resource from beneath your feet and you are left hanging in thin air.
I dont care what we call it. We will destroy Crony Capitalism,we will destroy State Capitalism,we will destroy Corporatism and destroy Imperialism.
Socialism this way comes.

Well then, you are going to have crony socialism, state socialism and corporate socialism. If you don't get that the very system is broken, then you can't fix it with a bandaid of some other guise....
