What does capitalism have to do evil?

I believe it is my duty to case mocking liberals for my own entertainment and reveal what you are incapable of thinking without a person of average intelligence to aid you. That's right, I'm about to prove you wrong and I am not claiming to be an "intellectual" like some arrogant smug cunt, I'm using it to prove you are an idiot which is the truth. Also I am going to tell it to you straight, I'm not going to attempt social engineering and come up with some nonsensical bullshit in order to hide my true intentions which does nothing but insult the intelligence of the people exposed to it.

Capitalism isn't the cause of all the problems you attribute to it. Capitalism is just an economic system with as many problems with corruption as communism or any other economic system.

It's elementary logic.

A occurs in the presence of B. Does this mean B is the cause of A? It does not.

The real cause of corruption and immoral behaviour are systems which permit people to do so and in which motivation to enforce justice is utilised to a high degree. Both capitalism and communism fail to do this in comparison to the free market, which is a completely seperate philosophy and has no place in your over-simplified abstract almost child-like view of the world.

You are idiots.

Everything I said applies to liberals. I read many books,
including "The Leviathan" by Thomas Hobbes, "Essays on " by
John Stuart Mill and "A critique of pure reason" by Immanuel
Kant. Which line of thought do you believe I am unaware of?

Liberalism, Capitalism, perhaps Communism, as you haven't listed Marx and Engels.
Obviously, you are a reactionary american, so perhaps you are simply confused and are thinking of the whole 'New Deal' FDR thing. But really, Fox news isn't the best source of information on liberals or liberalism. If your going to go around shooting your mouth off, at least use a more appropriate word, like leftists, or more specifically, socialists.

free market economics

economic liberty is a founding principle of liberalism, but not being a liberal myself, or of any ideological bent, I don't really care.

capitalism <--> free market economics
ever heard of Adam Smith? Surely if your so well read, something as simple as the Wealth of Nations is already parked in your bookshelf.

theoretical physics
what does this have to do with anything? Did you just tuck that in there in a vain attempt to seem smarter? I can do that to. Quantum Mechanics. Zero-Sum Games. Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky Bridge.

Abstract means an idea which is based on a few principles,
which does not apply in empirical situations such as the real
world.

I see you can at least use a dictionary
