CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Actually if applying regulations to commerce makes it not capitalism, capitalism does not and cannot exist anywhere. Even in lawless markets such as the illegal drug trade or commerce within failed states some control is exerted.

A former pastor of mine (who was a hippie before coming to faith) said he never really understood capitalism until he got in on the wrong end of a dope deal gone bad .....

I think this was practiced in the U.S. for many decades, i.e., most people worked in farms and factories. But greatest opportunities for middle class lifestyles prevailed, leading to the move to the service industry.
Similar has been taking place even in countries where manufacturing was outsourced.
