There are no more Communists

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Welcome, Nietzschedanced.

Those are not failures of capitalism, they are attempts at gaming the system, by sharpies and grifters. This goes on wherever there is a system of any kind. (There was probably some ancient Spartan trying to corner the market on iron, or on its distribution.) Socialism had and has a raft of 'em too, and featured protection of such gamesters and cheats through social, or class, privilege. If you were in the Nomenklatura, you could indulge in corruption your whole life without penalty.

It vexes the Left to mention, but capitalism not only can be practiced ethically, it is at its most profitable when this is done, so capitalism plain should be done that way. The Left doesn't want to hear that, because they are always looking for dirt to throw upon capitalism and its traditional, human values. But they are doomed to failure at anticapitalism and conversion back to human ways, because capitalism, in both its systematic and its unsystematic features, constitutes what humans do, absent government interference or meddling.

Socialism mandates meddling with what humans do in the one known natural way. Phooey to socialism.
