I agree with you completely, however there are newcomers to this list,
notably from countries less advanced along the siungularity curve as
ours, that still don't understand or agree as to what point we are
starting from. WHile one would think that the death of the Soviet Union,
the end of Socialism in China and most other control economies, as well
as the end of the welfare state in many western nations, would be enough
of an indicator to prove the point that "free enterprise is the superior
economic system", there still seem to be plenty of people on this list
who refuse to learn from history, and refuse to acknowledge the truth of
today's global economy.
Before we can discuss where we are going, any discussion group needs to
agree on where we are now.
