Honestly communism is pretty much the opposite of "evil" IMO as it's putting in all you can and people take out what they need to eliminate poverty and create a standard living of life everybody would have. Capitalism is trying to work your way up the salary ladder any way you can no matter how many people to step on along the way. I'm personally for capitalism because I don't like the idea of lazy people who'll just abuse the system benefiting from my work, and I don't like the idea of the government regulating everything.

it's actually derived from atlas shrugged if you must know.

this is the type of stuff i hate discussing online but tmrw i'll try to type up a big comprehensive post blah blah

basically it is an "evil" principle in that stripping the financial benefits of production from the producers and distributing it to all is a disgrace to them and whatever they produce. john galt walking out of the factory concept.

your perception of capitalism in action is rather elementary. contemporary american capitalism seems polarized - The Rich Step on People Everyone thats Broke Is LAzy - as a (i'd assume, this is all just wild shots in the dark) result of aspects of our society such as the crazy distribution of wealth. working your way up the salary ladder takes a back seat to the real benefits of capitalism - recognition for your innovation, work, production, genius, intelligence, etc.. with you on the dont like the government regulating everything though.

if money is the root of all evil - ask yo self what is the root of all money
