-isms don't work

...for normal people.
Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Utilitarianism, and all the others.  They're all pretty much fine in the hands of intelligent, rational people.  But the problem is the masses screw everything up.  My question to you poli-tards is, would it be possible to lie to the average man and trick him into believing one thing, while secretly accomplishing the goals of one of the 'isms'?

Most people in the western world know what utilitarianism is, but thanks for the incomplete lesson, im sure Mill is proud of you. You have quite a grasp on the topic, I mean you explained it so clearly im sure you will be able to spot the massive chunk of information you’re missing, the part that deals with why capitalism and utilitarianism cannot co-exist. Here ill do it for you.


The ethical theory where overall happiness *of a population* is the only measurement for moral actions

Yea utilitarianism is a great practice for government; Germany had a right to kill Jews, really. Me and my neighbor hated that nigger, we had a right to kill him, it made us happy. Unlimited majority rule is so great guys I love this
