the proof is in the pudding, and capitalism works. Name a single country that has a greater standard of living, few equal even? And the taxes the people pay in European communitites would alarm you, give you real nightmares. Inculcate, yes, I'm a teacher and that is a starting point to develop a group culture. That happens in any system. The same exact thing happens in families.. you guide your children to suit the needs of the family. We are governed to suit the needs of the governed. No our goverment/system is not perfect, none is, but like I said, name a better one...I suppose you would like a dictator?mp

Cool. I dig teachers. I'm engaged to one. My best friends are teachers. I am a teacher. And teachers are the best-intentioned people I know. Unfortunately, few of them have any idea of the historical or theoretical foundations of the institutions in which they work. Have you read Paulo Freire? How about John Gatto? I'd be happy to tell you about them off-board, but this thread has gone astray from the intended purpose of this forum.BTW, unappareled access to materials goods is NOT a measure of quality of life. Nor is heavy taxation necessarily an indication of a poor quality of life.
among others. So is being able to own a computer and share the ideas we are sharing, do you understand that some don't share in that freedom?mp
Certainly, but that doesn't make this "the best of all possible worlds."
the best world, referring to western and in particular capitalistic economic systems,....it's the best out there so far though. The whole thread started because you compared capitalism to the oppression in brazil and 1984?mp
