Capitalism<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Capitalism<\/strong> is NOT a Political Ideology!<\/h4>\n

There is no such thing as the Capitalist Manifesto or the Capitalist Party.<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t fall for the idea that Capitalism is the opposite of Communism, it is a Straw Man comparison.<\/p>\n

The Opposite of Communism is not Capitalism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Opposite of Communism is Freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United States was founded on the Ideals of Liberty, not Capitalism.\u00a0 Capitalism was not the objective – no one ever said, \u201cGive us Capitalism or give us death.\u201d\u00a0 They said, \u201cGive us Liberty or give us death.\u201d<\/p>\n

We established a Government designed to Secure the Proto Criteria, first, then an economic system of Capitalism automatically followed because Capitalism is the only Economic System that fits with Freedom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First comes Freedom then comes Capitalism.<\/p>\n

Communism, on the other hand, doesn\u2019t begin with the Idea of Freedom \u2013 it begins with the idea of Material Equality.\u00a0 The Governments established by Communists are (theoretically) designed to achieve Material Equality through an All-Powerful Central Authority, a Dictatorship [of the Proletariat], rather than to Secure the Proto Criteria.<\/p>\n

Freedom, as a developed Concept, is expressly absent from the Communist Manifesto, and Communist Philosophy in general, because it is an impediment to their goal of Material Equality; it is impossible to distribute Wealth Equally when Wealth is Produced Unequally unless the Unalienable Rights of Mankind are violated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other words, first comes Communism then comes Material Equality \u2013 Freedom is not part of the Equation.<\/p>\n

A Communist, however, would probably disagree – they would try to argue that Material Equality comes first then Freedom, but that is part of their Invalid Premise which I addressed in my post The Proto Criteria versus Communism\/Socialism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When people criticize Capitalism they\u2019re really criticizing Freedom.<\/p>\n

Communists don\u2019t want to argue against Freedom so they replace that term with the word Capitalism in order to redirect and muddle the issue.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need to defend Capitalism, we need to defend Freedom.<\/p>\n

For instance, if a Communist says something derogatory about Capitalism don\u2019t waste your time trying to prove Capitalism is better than Communism, simply prove that Freedom is better than Totalitarianism – it’s that simple.<\/p>\n

In the end, Communism<\/strong> is nothing more than a Euphemism\/Facade for Totalitarianism, and Capitalism<\/strong> is a Communist Epithet\/Pejorative for Freedom.<\/p>\n

The Debate isn\u2019t between Capitalism and Communism, the Debate is between Freedom and Totalitarianism.<\/p>\n
