Capitalism is not a problem

The problem if there is one is not a lack of wealth, instead it is that wealth is not properly distributed and it is not easy for people to improve their conditions because of unfair restrictions being placed upon them...

Supply and demand is not a problem, there is easily enough wealth (sunlight) to go around. Is supply and demand a problem? What's bad about it? Is there a problem with supply and demand? The burden is on the complainant to show the crime. It is not our obligation to legitimise a behaviour, or are we to justify freedom? Only force must be justified.

Is it a problem that the Earth is limited, that I cannot fly or breathe underwater? That I cannot does not justify an action in retaliation, we must accommodate (acclimatise) ourselves to it and not seek retaliation or compensation from an innocent source. Whose fault is death? It might be a problem of nature, but not one caused by any person. Prices are limited by what the other person is willing to accept.

We don't yet have a perpetual motion machine. It would be impossible to have any other situation. There is no other possibility than prices being bound by our environment. It is impossible to create wealth by force. There is nothing we can do about the failure of Communism, it is futile.

Communism is futile.

A lack of magic is not a problem. It might be nice to have unlimited powers, but it is not a problem that I am mortal.
