Reply #8: It's a protest, not a presentation.

[HughBeaumont]

Is it up to protestors to correct something they see is painfully wrong? This is why we elect leaders, provided they aren't corporately compromised from the start. This is why we put our trust in leaders private and public - to preside over complicated issues. If they're in over their head or using the system to blatantly enhance their own coffers instead of working for the greater good, then what do you do with that? Do you continue to put your trust in and defend failure?

I would think that, learning from history, you don't keep attempting what obviously does not work.

I mean, if you want an answer on what capitalism would be "replaced" with, I say more regulation should be introduced along with more Democratic Socialism . . . to begin with. This would allow for a WPA in case of an emergency (which, by all rights, THIS IS) and greater expansion of the social safety net so millions of people's lives won't come to a failed dead halt.

Whether the greed-poisoned MIC and Wall Street will allow this to happen remains to be seen.
