   I have no issue with the first quote which says nothing about capitalism at all really. It just says people should work together rather than against each other. As a statement in isolation I don't disagree.

   There are authoritarian things related to a "bank-state" I certainly disagree with. The fact that if I make large transactions it can open me to investigation and you are effectively required to use a bank for large transactions is certainly a vioaltion of rights.

   So yea I agree with the issue there, only disagree with the assertion that is a property of capitalism, it isnt. In fact it is anti-capitalism as it gives a bank privilege and thus breaks free-market principles.

   So I largely disagree what you associate with capitalism, more so than the issues you raise themselves which more or less seem valid.

   Nah. The real answer is that they don't have any guiding moral principles.

   So they'll fight for free speech when they're the underdogs and they actually *need* the protections there of. As soon as they're the dominant culture, it's no longer necessary, and so it must be gotten rid of.

   This, by the way, is why it's absolutely hilarious to watch people, in the same breath, claim to be oppressed, but then treat the term "free speech" like a slur. If you're in a position to dispose of free speech and expression, you are by definition not oppressed.
