dont get a woody over it please. I said no such thing. craig however
seems to think that "capitalists" are some small minority of the
population. other then a few linkers, I dont know anyone planning to
emigrate to a communist country. capitalism has demonstrate results
and continues to improve the lives of billions of people around the world,
which cant be said for craigs mates living in a collectivist fantasy.

just fly out to any major chinese city and walk down a random street and
ask a random person how they feel about their standard of living
under the new capitalism regime and the old anti capitalist regimes
