Most people poke fun at ivory towerists like yourself in the local pub, I prefer to tell them the truth to their face. I never claimed to be a nice person, just one with some degree of common sense. Some other idiot writes a load of nonsense that fits their immmature ideas and they lap it up without any criticism. This whole section and the one after it is based upon the old socialist fallacy that everyone wants to be equal. People don't want to be equal, they want to move forward.
Capitalism is the only proven system that enables everyone to become richer.
Even the homeless are better off today than they were a hundred years ago. Socialism produces a huge shift in wealth followed by stagnation. Given the drop in nationalism over the last century I really can't understand how anyone could possibly be stupid enough to even suggest this. The suggestion that society doesn't change and has no dissent is breathtaking in its idiocy.
