I was excited to come across this thread which was quickly followed by my disappointment when I realized that it had fizzed out quite quickly. I'm really looking to find smart, like-minded people who can discuss the real prospect of capitalism coming to an end (hopefully a controlled transition rather than a chaotic and brutal collapse), without being called a "commie" or "naive socialist". I have a ton of ideas so I'm just not interested in participating in mud slinging fests, I want constructive criticism of my plausible concept.

If you guys are still active here then perhaps we can engage, if not please point me to other places of interest.

Thx.

Agreed, with a caveat--it's only too good at delivering them to an elite. F4lconF16 Mar 2015 #10
