   What is "natural"? Not sure I agree without some additional definition.

   The fact that it does take intellectuals and economists to justify   
   capitalism means that something is very wrong with the world and the   
   education of the people. In order to justify capitalism, nothing more   
   should be required than looking around you and comparing that view with   
   the view in a history book from 100 years ago. Every metric is better.

   My feeling, living in europe, is that most states are moving away from   
   capitalism and democracy and many people are doing their best to villify   
   Ayn Rand.

   How do you think culture became the domain of the left? I always   
   wondered. Education, culture, etc. always the domain of the left.

   Interesting. I always thought communisms rise is built on the religious   
   reflex, except, that the leaders promise heaven on earth _right now_. Of   
   course economics has explained to us why communism can never work, and   
   every time it fails the leaders proclaim "ahh... but it was not done   
   right that time". ;)

   Yes, even communists are capable of evil.
