capitalism (kąp“ī-tl-īz“em) noun
An economic system in which the means of production and
distribution are privately or corporately owned and
development is proportionate to the accumulation and
reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
The KEY is how one defines 'ownership' ... does one truly 'own'
something in which he must receive permission to 'create' or
'distribute' -- I say emphatically, No.
As such Capitalism requires a separation of the State and
business in much the SAME capacity as Church-State separation.
*My* definition of Statist (socialist, nazi-ist, fascist,
communist) would be anything other than providing ALL
individuals with a RIGHT to their own life.

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism.
But, under the name of 'liberalism', they will adopt every
fragment of the socialist program, until one day America
will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
