I know people want a quick answer to hard problems, but I beg the protesters to learn their world political history & read books like, "Eyes of the Tailless Animals." Take your time & do the research before you make a stand on your political views. It seems that when people take such a hard stance when they are so young & have yet to see and experience much of the world, their ego prevents them from later changing their ideology. If the protesters get their way & we become a Marxist country, we will become a version of North Korea. As hard as it is to believe, the disparity in wealth in this country is not the biggest problem in the world. Consider that our poor, which include many illegal immigrants, are wealthier than 98% of the rest of the world . . . Maybe, just maybe, there is something to this Capitalism thing. Just open your mind & open a book (or several hundred).
No in the history of the world has come up with a better society & you folks are trying to destroy it.
Just because we prop up our capitalism with imperialism doesn't make capitalism "work." It's still busted. We just have a nice little band-aid stuck to it. A band-aid made of rarefied human suffering.
