Capitalism has done more historically than perhaps anything (save a few inventions in medicine and combustion engine) to improve living standards and lift people out of poverty and create wealth.
When you contrast it to socialism or Marxism or similar, people are universally impoverished, poor, malnourished, isolated, etc.
So, I really just do not get it. It seems that they believe that there would be more equality or no ruling class or elite class in a socialist, or kumbayaa, or Marxist, type system. But history proves them wrong. In fact, in such non-capitalist societies, the elite status is far more oppressive and brutal.
And these lunatics have resorted to violence all over. Do they really think that with their "percieved" systems in place that their rulers would be non-violent?
I am an educated and well-traveled man, but I just cannot wrap my brain around these absolute mouth breathers who want anarchy and violence leading to what exactly? A nonsense peace Eutopia that has never and will never exist? Their very actions demonstrate that there is always going to be chaos and conflict.
Most of them traveled there, bought clothing, cameras, and equipment and food produced and delivered by the free market and free trade. They have comfortable life styles and unbelievable surpluses (historically speaking) made possible only by the free market/trade. Yet they are protesting it....
I wish these idiots would read a short pamphlet on the benefits of free trade, with pictures of what communism, socialism, marxism, etc. provide.

Brought to you by the party of love, peace, acceptance, environmentalists, global community.
100+ cops injured, probably millions of dollars in property (public and private) damage, lawlessness, burning cars and trash, broken glass everywhere, chaos, pollution...
I"m 100% for peaceful protests, objections, speeches, etc. But this is simply too much. I'm really tired of it, here and abroad. I would support lethal responses. I don't understand why the government doesn't just open fire on these lawless lunatics after a time. Just open up with a few belted crew served weapons to protect the community from this. Mow these idiots down. It's out of hand and gets worse every year. It's unacceptable, and dangerous. Imagine if you live in the middle of this, own a business, or get caught in the middle of these things??!!
Your right to protest ends when you're routinely destroying the city, injured platoons of police, threatening others with violence, and ruining cities causing untold BILLIONS of dollars in damages.
As much as I enjoy watching these asshats get the snot beat out of them, sprayed with water hoses, and tear gassed, I think it's time for governments to get more aggressive. I think they should be given warnings to leave and go home or will be fired upon. Give them ample time to leave. Then open fire. I have exactly ZERO problems with that course of action.
