“I’m just fascinated by the whole “capitalism as immoral” argument.”

I read back through my comments to see where we got off track.

I said, “To teach them an immoral and unprincipled form of capitalism known as Globalism.”

I don’t believe capitalism is bad nor, do I believe the Gov ever made anything better. However, when one makes a business deal only to have the other party/parties manipulate the terms of the agreement (using slave labor, hidden fees or tariffs, manipulating one’s monetary structure, etc.) That’s where the unethical, immoral, unprincipled parts come into play not, the way you interpreted what I wrote.

Bottom line: Don’t make agreements with tyrants, dictators or communists and expect it to be fair and balanced for all concerned.

I think I'm largely responsible for derailing the conversation. It's better to save my discussion for a philosophy thread.

The concept of "immoral capitalism" gets bandied-about quite a bit here, and I've never gotten the opportunity to see it developed. Suffice it to say I'm of the opinion that when someone uses the term, he or she means to write "immoral capitalist." No need to respond, I'm just navel-gazing.
