and the fruits of that are showing up in how favorable the views of socialism or simply tearing down the system have shifted rapidly in what seems to be a short amount of time.

I think capitalism is the best economic system for everyone as whole and has done tremendous good for much of the world. It is however easy to find where it lacks and has faults.

We need to stop looking at this as a binary choice between capitalism as it currently exists in the US today, or socialism/communism/anarchy, and actually look for ways to address some of the gaps in capitalism that do exist.

Seems like it is very difficult to do that in message boards.
