So capitalism is all about increasing wealth for the many ? The
profit system is all about economic democracy ?
So both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are motivated by the same humanitarian impulse ? Even Ayn Rand was really a social democrat despite her cult book " The Virtue of Selfishness " ?
The conservative mentality in praising the logic of the free market- a better route to the worker's paradise ? - rejects the logic of history, rejects the logic of CHANGE.
There is nothing eternal about the " laws of capitalism " anymore than the laws of feudalism or the laws of ancient slavery. For many long centuries the human race got along just fine without class divisions and sacrosanct private property.
The simple truth is that human civilization no longer needs the capitalist exploiters and oppressors- and war makers.
We democratic socialists question the moral legitimacy of so called " legitimate " wealth. And we have 99 percent of the world on our side - potentially.
