Pre-mature conclusion.

Should be titled "The Robber-Barron Manifesto"

One would have to define capitalism, freedom (surely comes with a price 
tag and only the rich can afford it), and wealth (materialim? Does that 
mean the guy with the most gold, jewels, and money is God?)

In other words, there are laws against illegal things and its the ones who

want to do the illegal things that are "repressed"?

So, that would mean all of the European countries and Canada (etc) with 
socialized medicine that is actually doing a better job for cheaper are 
"backward"? Oh, yes, a lot of them have all free schools, too. And, are 
very modern, free of wars, and a high standard of living.

Surely you are joking? There were robber-barron landlords (who owned land)

and monopolies (freezing out all competition) going back to ancient Greek 
times and ancient Rome times, and even in Mesopotamia.

> 80 years of socialism

Wrong again. The Inca empire (1300 AD to 1500 AD) had 200+ years of stable

socialism and all the storage areas were full and overflowing (all until 
the conquistadors came), and in ancient China there were at least two 
emperors that tried govt controlled prices and they lasted for decades 
until competing emperors came and took over or a natural disaster 
interfered with the socialims.

  and millennia of

City-states existed as far back as written records existed. Even in animal

communities with social animals, there is a pecking order (rule without 
money or owner****p, same as statism).

I can see that you can neither read nor think.

Only a fanatic wearing blinders, having wax in his ears, and a defective 
brain could say that.

Do you know Adolf Hitler, by the way?
