But to paraphrase Churchill...Capitalism may be diabolic, but it is still less diabolic than all the alternatives.
Even Socialism would be great, if all human beings were perfectly virtuous.
Without Virtue, every single system is diabolical. Freedom can’t exist without Virtue in people (Socrates/Aristotle).
(That is why Virtue in children was targeted by the Cultural Marxists (Sex-Ed) in the 1930s, to collapse our culture).
Since the Founders knew we were not Angels (but Rousseau and the French believed we were “Good”), they created the most perfect government and limitations on power, as possible....with Free Market Capitalism and private property rights and individual Natural Rights enshrined.
But, our schools need to go back to Classical Education which embeds Virtue in the young. John Dewey was a Socialist Humanist and intentionally destroyed our education system in the 30s to destroy Virtue and moral formation in children——to collapse culture.
As today-—I interview high school and college students and they are the dumbest, most ignorant people-—with no clue to understanding philosophy or theology on an abstract profound level. They have Nike Minds—”feel good, do it”—which is all from operant conditioning and filling them with lies and misinformation in grade school and blurring Truth/God/Reason.
