Adopting the terminology of our sworn enemies makes it harder to win the debate. Marx slandered our system of economic freedom as capitalism, which might be described by some as the priority of capital over everything else. However, that is not our system. Favoritism violates our Founders’ values that require equal protection for all of us under the law. Equality and individualism go together. Cronyism and oligarchy, are characteristics of Communist and fascist nationalist systems which are evil Hegelian twin philosophies that deny our system of individualism that is set out in our Constitution.
Americans have had the highest per capita income in the world since the 1830’s, a resounding economic success not only in comparison to other half-baked Marxist systems but also in the history of the mankind on earth. Anyone who points out China as an exception must explain how they would like to live in abject poverty and enslavement under the control of some 300 ultra-wealthy Communists who control the country and its un-redistributed $5 trillion dollar surplus.
