Criticism is not an unequivocal indictment. It can be in some instances, but I'm not rebuking the whole of capitalism. I never was. I can criticize (even heavily) many things and that's not a pronouncement of patent dismantling of, or revocation of, that which I take issue with.
I think you see any criticism as an entire incrimination and that's not what I've been saying. I thought, in-between my babbling (my apologies), my entire undercurrent was how I was heavily criticizing destructive capitalism, not capitalism. They are separate. Perhaps to you, they are not...and if that's the case...then we're not going to find any middle ground for discourse.
It's not just any criticism, it's the specific criticism you made about the basis of the capitalist system,
"When you're ultimate goal is profit, whether a company fails or is successful, you're in it for the wrong reasons."All I was saying is that those are exactly the right reasons to be in business. You see it as a bug, I see it as a feature. It's not like you were making a critique of this or that feature, but the very basis of capitalism. So I don't think it's unfair of me to ask, what is your alternative to the profit motive, if you don't feel that people should be in business for profit?
