Has capitalism failed?

How is working freely, and spending your money freely anything like slavery? What if you don't take loans? What on earth do you mean?

However, it is contrasted to communism, which IS slavery, literally.

Well, most of the money you spend inevitably lands in the pockets of a very narrow group of people and contributes to the further development of the system "they" control. Look at speculation on the stock market - it's all about creating a positive image of the economy to continually power certain "positive" actions from regular people - one of them is consumption. If suddenly we face a real crisis (which can't be covered up by data and statistics) in the economy, who are the people who feel the negative effects on their own skins? Bankers from global companies, major speculants? Of course not, 99% of the "rest" of the world's population. Taking loans is what most of the people do - look at the major debt in the U.S. If you don't, then good for you - it means you're independent enough to financially rely on yourself and not become a victim of a negative cycle.

Communism in it's definition isn't slavery, sometimes the execution just becomes a bit faulty. I'm certainly not supporting it, but imho we definitely aren't headed in the right direction as it is now.

No, capital is not money. Capital is, er, capital. The terms are not at all the same. It would be entirely possible to have a free market with no privately-held capital (i.e., Mutualism), or an economy with a great deal of economic planning but alot of capital still held privately, as you got in Nazi Germany.

Loans are free agreements. To compare them to slavery is still ridiculous, even if people take on debts they cannot pay, as they do it of their own volition.

am guessing so coz some ppl dont want to belive there such a thing as a peaceful anarchist!!

You may be a peaceful, kind anarchist, but you don't realise that other people are different to you. Other people (like me, and the large majority) would abuse the system by contributing as little as to society as possible whilst taking as much out as possible. Others (a sizeable minority, not like me) would go round killing and raping and stealing from each other. If everyone in this society was like you, or one of the other retarded anarchists from this forum, it'd work. Unfortunately, people aren't like that.

thank so much for explain tommm:
i know nt evry1 is the same, yes i am an anarchist but yet very peaceful but what i dnt get is how ppl [bismark]wld classify any one hu'z an anarchist as violent..
and am also not saying we abandon order in society and let wild animals lose to steal, kill and rape really am not sayin that bt i wuld lve it if the gov could try t live up to their values and moral beliefs instd
of finding a way to buy land or attack a country or figure out a new scheme to gain more power!!

you're not an anarchist.

Does the gobal economic show that capitalisim has failed? Does this mean we should being adapting socilist veiws? Should all private sectors become state owned? Should we combine the both?

Go on tell me what u think!

Yes(ish).
Capitalism has failed. It may not be so apparent in developed countries, with the gap between the rich and poor not being so wide - but if you have been to a third world country then it is very apparent.

I do think we should be adopting more socialist views, much as I hate to admit it, I do think on a global level it would be beneficial. In places like India and China the distribution of wealth is just obscene and it's not just native capitalists fault - but the fault of wealthy nations and every person in them.
