First, you should remember that I was replying to the assertion that
capitalism had "killed millions". Though I would certainly agree that
many lives have been lost in "capitalist" countries, I was trying to
show that overall there has been a growth in population so that the
losses have been greatly overwhelmed by the increases. These increases
have been largely attributable to the advances in technology which
accompany free market transactions.
As for the game question. No, the game is to create a society where
people can live the fullest lives possible. The society which inhabited
the land which is now encompassed by the USA was kept from growing to a
larger number through periodic starvation and early loss of life. Many
people believe this is not optimum and prefer longer lives and thus
percieve this as being a better and fuller life. The use of a free
market economy seems to have provided this in the opinion of many
people. While some may prefer primarily devoted to the search for food,
others of us prefer more choices.
