I never said capitalism is bad. The bad thing is having a system where agents of the state have license to imprison people in a place where more profit is created for private individuals when imprisoning more people. Everything else on this planet can run as capitalism with a profit. Just not the business of holding people prisoner.

We already have had numerous incidents and it is clear that human nature in such a system leads to false imprisonment for profit.

"I never said capitalism is bad.

The implication was (and is) quite plain.

"The bad thing is having a system where agents of the state have license to imprison people in a place where more profit is created for private individuals when imprisoning more people.

And yet, privately operated prisons have been part of the penal justice system forever. The 1980 date I picked was the point where the number began to increase more quickly, not when first established.

"Everything else on this planet can run as capitalism with a profit. Just not the business of holding people prisoner."

IOW, capitalism is evil.

"We already have had numerous incidents and it is clear that human nature in such a system leads to false imprisonment for profit.

How "numerous"? This is a nation of 300+ million people. I am sure that one can find "numerous" (i.e. >1 )for pretty much anything at all.

I repeat....you have no data to speak of. You have never done anything but wave your hands in the air when asked to produce proof. Come back when you actually have some validated data.
