I don't know what do you mean by the Capitalism. Capitalism doesn't mean you have
to have everything privatisation. It is one way to make Capitalism work. Talking
about Capitalism, I don't think it is the best way to manage the state, but I can
think about the other way. Generally speaking, Capitalism is to do everything
according to the voters needs. Economically, the military should not intervent
the government operation because in military economy there is nothing good. War
can lead to dead or Zero Sum Game. I mean nobody will be able to live. A good
capitalism power should come from the people. The May crisis in Thailand is the
good example for the way to Capitalism. The other events that are happening in
some other countries also good to the state. Peace is too idealism because when
you are talking about peace there will be one group of countries who have power
to control things in the world. The Hegemon, such as the USA is no longer has
powerover the other countries in many areas. So what exactly do people want from
being Capitalism.
