   of war, plus a bunch of lies covering what's going on to safe each   
   sides' face.   
      
   No matter how noble the purpose, lies and prejudices lead to   
   misunderstanding, that leads to more war. Hence, the best contribution   
   is simply to unmask all lies.   
      
   All in all, peaceful democracy is indeed a more cost efficient ways to   
   measure ones' bargaining position. While democracy often lead to   
   decisions opposites of freedom, like popularly supported victimless   
   crime, income tax, and welfare, it's indeed relatively more cost   
   efficient than civil war.   
      
   That's not when the coherency end. Various natural laws restrict   
   various possible political outcomes. We can't expect a stone will fly   
   to the sky when we drop it as much as we cannot expect a human to be   
   generally unselfish. If we want to kill our enemies, we'll do well   
   dropping a big stone on top of our enemies head rather than dropping   
   the stone on top of our own head expecting the stone to somewhat   
   magically fly to the enemies head.   
      
   The same way, we can't demand market distortion and expect that the   
   best and brightest among us to still magically be a nice tax payer   
   rather than dictators and corruptors. In a country where selling porn   
   or building a good franchise chain is more difficult and less lucrative   
   than becoming a dictator, guess what the smart would end up doing? Ask   
   Saddam.   
      
   If we want rich and prosperous countries, we must know that it will and   
   only will happen when we properly align individuals' interests with   
   productivity.   
      
   Such coherency tends to make certain things come in package with   
   another. We can expect that moving electric field will induce magnetic   
   field. The same way, in life, we observe similar things. Communism and   
   socialism, for example, always come in package with dictatorship and   
   corruptions when smart people realize that being dictators pay more   
   than building a business empire.   
      
   To the opposite capitalistic countries comes in package with softer   
   deals for losers, such as, guess what, welfare.   
      
   We know from our economic classes that free market capitalism brings   
   prosperity within market mechanism. However, it turns out that the   
   prosperity that free market brings also profit the less successful   
   beyond market mechanism. Capitalism and the prosperity that come with   
   it tend to facilitate ideological changes in ways that benefit the less   
   successful. One such ideological change is the popular support for   
   losers' benefits. One such benefit is, guess what, welfare.   
      
   The most obvious samples of such ideological shifts the free market   
   bring are the elimination of slavery in US. What happened? As usual,   
   the northern part of America is an industrial country. At that time,   
   steel industries are relatively more modern than the farming industry.   
   Higher tech industry increase labors' productivity. When labor's   
   productivity goes up, entrepreneurs will want to hire as many workers   
   as possible. Hence, labors' salary will go up. This will kill of   
   industries with less labor's productivity. At the end, the marginal   
   productivity of labors in the least productive industry will go up.   
   That value is labors' salary.   
      
   Under competitive equilibrium, the more productive and efficient a   
   person is, the more he benefits everyone in the chain of productivity   
   except those similar to him. Hence, an entrepreneurs coming up with   
   ways to improve labors' productivity would benefit everyone,   
   including workers and consumers, at the expense of other entrepreneurs   
   and capitalists. Read that Karl Marx!   
      
   Then what? When labors' salary goes up, obviously labors will move to   
   the employers that pay them higher. Hence, farm labors in the south   
   want to move to the north. They can't do so legally though because   
   they were slaves. Hence, the northern capitalists in US want to free   
   slaves so they can hire more workers. And then the southern capitalists   
   in US want to keep slavery. This then results in war. The bigger the   
   labors' productivity, the more intensive capitalists have to free   
   slaves. The more supporters there will be on a cause the more likely   
   the cause won. Hence, slaves were freed.   
      
   Unfortunately, people still want to help losers and buy votes from   
   those who are too expensive and too stubborn to switch. That explains   
   why the farms in US gets subsidy.   
      
   If losing means not as successful as the other, then there will always   
   be losers. However, we see how free market shifts the worlds' system   
   in ways that benefits the losers too. Unlike the commies' propaganda,   
   capitalism does not cause or even enlarge disparity of wealth.   
   Capitalism only changes the way such disparity are earned to the   
   benefits of all.   
      
   At the end of the warring states period in China, the king of Chin,   
   Shih Huang Ti, and his prime minister, Li Si were the winner. Within   
   one generation they have all their family slaughtered. If that's what   
   winning means, what did losing means in pre-capitalistic countries? In   
   ancient time, losing meant having all the males slaughtered, enslaved,   
   or castrated and all the females raped and winning means risking your   
   whole family slaughtered by rebels. In socialists countries the rich   
   are corruptors and dictators that slice each other throats while the   
   poor are starving.   
      
   Now, thanks to the prosperity only free market can bring, losing means   
   they can leave on welfare, with plenty of chance to climb back and   
   proof their worth, like J. K. Rowling. Now, slaves are so free and   
   highly paid thanks to increase in labors' productivity. In fact, when   
   slave jobs are moving to China under globalization, slaves in US   
   refused to be emancipated and want to keep their slave jobs in US   
   rather than evolving into entrepreneurs. So, much for the land of the   
   free and the place of the brave. Some people don't mind dying for   
   what they believe in but are too scared to start a business. Evolutions   
   will fix that I guess.   
      
   Free market gives abundances to everyone. The benefits the free market   
   brings benefit those less capable from being successful not only within   
   the system but also through non market mechanism, like the ending of   
   slavery and the start of reverse slavery we call welfare. But how do   
   those really work? Is there a general principle?   
      
   Each of us is greedy and selfish that we want as many as possible for   
   us. Humans' greed and selfishness is an undisputable scientific   
   facts, as sure as the sun rise in the east, as sure as a stone will   
   fall to the ground pulled by gravity. We're not just greedy and   
   selfish. Greed and selfishness doesn't explain all the war,   
   suffering, and poverty we face.   
      
   In fact, greed is good. Properly aligned, under free market, the   
   greatest among us shall be the one productively providing the best   
   service to the most customers. Blessed be the productive because   
   they'll be rich. This will encourage higher and higher standard of   
   living that we are currently enjoying.   
      
   Free market allows those who serve more to grow richer. To those who   
   have more profit, to those ore capital are given. Kingdom of heaven   
   must be pretty capitalistic.   
      
   Also, women prefer the rich. Free sex means richer males will   
   consensually attract and mate with more women producing more kids.   
   That's the whole point of getting rich by the way. Duh? Hence, when   
   we're free, without genocide, without war, even with humanitarians   
   aids given to appease enemies, the meek will indeed inherit the earth.   
      
   More than greedy and selfish, some humans are simply not humans because
