That's your conclusion? Maybe I'm really bad at expressing myself. Isn't that a simpler conclusion?
Kontan said that there's nothing wrong with Capitalism,
ONLY by taking away everything that defines capitalism.

It's insane to assume that every capitalists wakes up with the thought in their head, "How can I make others suffer by exploiting their efforts?" There ARE benevolent capitalists.

So the solution to Capitalism is to have people that aren't profit-driven, that have a more communitarian mentality. That's how you solve capitalism. But let's not do away with capitalism, right?
My argument to that is that if we ignore the necessary rules of capitalism to make it defensible, you can say the same thing about slavery. Take away everything that slavery means and put people that care about each other. But just like capitalism, let's not do away with slavery.
If it sounds fucking ridiculous, it's because it SHOULD. But don't fucking call me a racist when I'm merely doing the same thing to one term Kontan did to another.
