misunderstood ideologies

speaking of marx, etc. it's true, capitalism has had its bad moments. but you show me where adam smith or milton friedman were all like: people should be brutally exploited! there should be chronic systemic poverty for most people! or anything like that at all. have you even read friedman? capitalism is a beautiful, harmless vision of human freedom, though of course every attempt to realize it in fact has been a horrendous moral disaster. that's just been kind of random, really; sometimes we ideologies just have a run of bad luck out there in the 'real world'. we get misinterpreted by assholes. sometimes it's nothing but assholes and their victims for centuries, really, but you gotta believe! real capitalism has never been tried. that's why i'm calling for immediate deregulation in every respect.
