By the way this website has headlines apparently written by people who don’t speak English as a first language.

Finally seeing what’s been right in front of his eyes for decades. At least he admits it though.

All the celebrities who sang at the giant charity benefit concerts, for AIDS and “world poverty” need to ask themselves just where all the million$ they raised went to and who really beenfited from them.

Good for Bono. Glad he came around. I hope he can persuade many others to see things the same way.

Many years ago, the Catholic church published an encyclical on the subject of free enterprise versus socialism which came down strongly on the side of free enterprise. I wonder if Bono may have been influenced by it.

Please don’t believe this BS.

He isn’t talking about free market capitalism. He is referring to the new “stakeholder” or “inclusive” capitalism. It is just fascism rebranded since “the state” can’t coordinate with business to run the economy in a global marketplace. They are replacing the state with the NGOs and billion dollar multinational corporations to achieve the same end.

Bono has not turned into a good guy or seen the light all of a sudden.

Read up on what he is referring to here:

I didn’t grow up to like the idea that we’ve made heroes out of businesspeople, but if you’re bringing jobs to a community and treating people well, then you are a hero. That’s where I’ve ended up."/

Capitalism teaches people to do 'favors' for each other - - then creates the system for keeping track of those favors - what we call 'money'. It's the sanest, most civilized form of humanitarian assistance the world has seen... I suspect Bono got a lot of this sublimely from Leonard Cohan - a fierce anti communist...

Socialims allows 'elites' to 'feel good about themselves' while they bask in unearned power. Capitalism makes 'elites' feel crappy but allows dignity for all the rest of us.

“If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain.”

It took Bono 22 extra years to catch up to Churchill…
