    That’s a very disingenuous assertion. I quantified my statement, you are the one assigning absolutes, and unfortunately, absolutes are idolized and probably not realistic any exact sense. Variables exist but not equally, everywhere, always (unless we’re talking about carefully controlled labs, and human error and unforeseen events still happen that may not be immediately apparent.

        No I wasted my time to come up with a simple way to describe complex nuances and typed it up on my device for lulz. :-|

          My position is that evil exists and that using socialism or communism doesn’t fix that… and you say I am being unreasonable. How do we continue the discussion from this point? I’m not even defending capitalism. The implied argument you are making is that capitalism causes evil. I don’t agree with that. I don’t dispute that capitalism enables evil people to prosper and I think unregulated capitalism encourages evil behavior.

            No I didn’t. You’re inserting words in my mouth again; Capitalism certainly exponentially increases the potential for “evil”, aka desperation. I think you’re being intentionally disingenuous so I’m done.
