      No it isn’t. Capitalism doesn’t even really have a goal because, unlike Socialism which was consciously invented as an ideology, Capitalism arose by accident and is subscribed to be wildly disparate people with wildly incompatible beliefs. But most of those people don’t want to “own the world and space as a monopoly and ravage the earth to the point of no vegetation” because that’s insane.

          I guess he means organically as opposed to led by ideologists like the Soviet Union.

              Or you’re just so extremely in love with your ideas that you’ve become completely uninterested in basic facts that vaguely conflict with your vision of reality.

              It was influential, but capitalism had essentially already come about in a limited form.

              And his stated goal was competitive markets forever, not absolute monarchy with more steps. People dunk on conservatives by quoting that book.

              You’re so far off the deep end that it doesn’t make sense trying to rebut you, so I ask questions that have easy answers to try and discuss something more productive. As usual with folks who think they’re very smart though, you don’t want to answer because it’s not on your terms.

              Take a class in politics. Or hell just read a book.
