How does capitalism protect the property of the poor? By privatizing the water supply? What about those who are really poor?
Capitalism is very unstable because of its structural problems(like wealth accumulation). Even if communism had never existed and capitalism was the only system we knew, it would still collapse either by the over-accumulation of wealth or by resource depletion. That's because capitalism doesn't take under consideration very important things like to guarantee a stable economic environment (in the long term), social justice or the environment. I have to admit that capitalism when it first came into existence was a great idea. Humans had to break the very long tradition of feudalism and free themselves. I think it's about time we move ahead once more - well, not right now. When the financial crisis becomes so great that only total retards are not convince that this is a structural problem of capitalism.
