Since you insist on this conversation...no, capitalism is, at its heart, competition. I.e., screw everyone else, I'm getting mine. That's what capitalism is. It has to happen for capitalism to even function properly. Capitalism cannot work unless people have a basic, fundamental disdain and disrespect for one another.
The human longing for freedom is both childish and unrealistic. Freedom is, by its nature, an absolute concept. You are either free to do everything, or you are not free. Therefore, freedom cannot exist if government exists. However, in a modern world, government must exist. Therefore, freedom is an impossibility. Furthermore, since human beings are little more than complex machines, whose every minute action and thought and impulse are dictated by genetics and prior experience, there can be no such thing as free will in the first place. Finally, the obsession with freedom, growth, and individualism is very childish, just a base instinct. As we socially evolve, these things are finally being left in the dustbin of history where they belong. Of course, some degenerates refuse to move into the next century, but we have always been a very slow-moving species.
So is dying by age 35. We're civilized now. "Natural" doesn't come into it.
As a social worker, I've worked with people who were born into broken families riven by violence, drugs, and alcohol. That's what they were taught. That's all they knew. We could reshape those communities very easily, for not very much money--a fraction of a fraction of the current defense budget--but people like you don't think it's important enough to break the cycle of poverty and suffering. They were then sent to schools that the government refuses to fund properly, because people like you don't think it's important enough. They got subpar educations, because they didn't have the luxury of expensive private schools, so they couldn't get into colleges, and affirmative action has been crippled, because people like you don't think it's important enough. So they had to take crappy jobs and they got paid slave wages, because people like you don't think a living wage is important enough. And even if they had a little extra money, they'd never learned how to manage it, how to live within their means, because people like you didn't care enough to fund their education, so credit card companies and predatory lenders exploited them and took everything from them, because people like you don't think consumer protection is important enough. With nothing else to turn to, they sank into depression, and drugs, and alcohol, and they had f**ked-up little babies just like their parents did. And it's all because people like you, who've never suffered a damn day in your life, don't think helping people, or having compassion, or saving our communities, are important enough. Because to you, poor people are just lazy. Because to you, community's just an excuse for someone to take your money. Because in your sad paradigm, everything's just about making money for yourself, and if your money isn't yours, then you're getting screwed. I will be damned if I'm ever going to live a paranoid, shriveled, hateful little existence like that.
Sorry. If this is what economic freedom looks like, then I've had enough of it. I've had enough of what it does to good people, or people who could have been good. I'm sick of your American dream that keeps you and me and everyone like us wealthy and fat and privileged, and keeps the poor getting poorer.
That freedom does not exist, because the playing field is not level.
