So I stumbled upon the website for an organization called The Capitalism Institute. I clicked on their What is Capitalism?link and found that, clearly, they have a different interpretation of the term from what is traditionally meant.
Their definition of Capitalism:
"Capitalism is an economic and political system that is based on protecting the natural rights of life, liberty, and property. By extension, this means enforcing contracts and banning all fraud."It's clearly just another far-right, libertarian group, probably funded by the same guys who fund liberty works and so on, but I'd never really heard it put this way. In a way this obnoxiously ignorant rhetorical definition, and the rest of the rhetoric on that page, help me to understand why there are all these capitalist crusaders out there; they've been made to believe that Capitalism is, first and foremost, about preserving liberty, which is a patent absurdity.
Anyway, just curious what people's thoughts were.
It is just a advertisement funded by bankers to convince people that it is alright for the government to bail them out and still allow them fraudulently kick people out of their homes.
