Oh, I'm all for capitalism. and I agree with you. I don't see what that has to do with religion, good vs. evil, belief systems etc. which is where this thread has drifted.

I see it as all tied together - especially since the topic is "Imagine" where all the "bad" things are gone...Religion, God, Capitalism, etc...

The question you should really ask is - why is every great free nation in the modern world built upon basic Transcendent Moral Authority and every nation that is not has no freedom and those moving away from that foundation becoming less free, less "great".

Freedom, Justice, Capitalism and personal/societal responsibility are built upon an idea of Society balancing Liberty and Morality. The world of Imagine cannot support that balance.
