Man I was going to do a point-by-point rebuttal but it would probably be a waste of time. I'll just say that I believe your claims are 100% baseless and in most cases the exact opposite of the truth. Can you give me something, some example of capitalism stifling technology, discouraging the use of abundant resources, destroying community or the need to cooperate with others, breeding crime? Capitalism encourages 100 moral practices for every immoral one.
