TACKER: avoyager (Avo Yager) SUBJECT: .. Robert Reich DATE: 24-Oct-07 13:46:58 HOST: sverige Like I've been saying, capitalism is an appropriate tool of a democracy; and democracy is an appropriate tool of a socialism which prioritizes human need and development over exploitation. The current failed state of democracy is due to its neglect of both these principles. The current failed state of capitalism is also due to its neglect of these same principles, and further by its failure to distribute ownership and spending power. The consequences of all this will probably not be enjoyable. Thanks for caring. avo ---
