Is this biased reporting?

This system is fundamentally Capitalist. I's not Socialist, it's not Humanist, and it's not Democratic. The freedoms and privileges we do have are a legacy earned through years of struggle by activists who were Humanist, Socialist, Communist, etc. They are not gifts from on high, and they are not part of the system of our government and society by fundamental design. The system was fought and forced to concede through fear of greater social upheaval.

You can ask; if the system is comprised of Humanistic qualities as a fundamental aspect then why do we allow children to starve, drop bombs on countries that are completely defenseless, allow the propagation of land mines, and any number of other attrocious obscenities? I'll take it you just don't understand the qualities of Humanism.

If the system is comprised of Socialistic qualities as a fundamental aspect then why are we the only industrialized nation that does not have universal health care, allow corporations all the rights and guarantees as an individual with none of the responsibility (you go bankrupt - you're on your own; a corporation faces any crisis and it gets subsidized with taxpayer money from the state and federal governments), allow companies to pay CEO's millions while they lay off thousands of workers, cut benefits, cut hours, and allow them to ship jobs overseas? That's the VERY antithesis of Socialism. Clearly, you have no idea what Socialism means.

We'd do a thousand times better under a system of Anarchism than we would under our present system of Capitalism, but again, it just goes to show how little you know about anything at all even despite your winded, pompous, insulting, and  condescending manner.

I'm not a moderator on this forum but I would like to remind all parties to attack the idea not the poster. Nothing stymies a honest debate like innuendo, accusations and insults.
