I am not working because there are never enough jobs in a capitalist economy and people like me (old, disabled, ultra-intelligent) get discriminated against.

Lol, what?

[Galt]

They find it intimidating.

My advice for applying to private sector jobs is to remove the following words from your CV- bourgeois, capitalist, revolution, Marx, Trotsky. In the "other interests" section, say you play golf, follow polo and breed horses.

I suggest we append this list to the Community Guidelines also.

Capitalism even forces you to lie on resumes to get a job.

Let's be clear here. The part of our societies that has free health care, and safety nets for the poor is decidedly not capitalist.
The part that allows bankruptcy, corporate welfare and the like isn't either. Capitalism is and always has been propped up with some socialist principals in place to prevent chaos and revolution.

No political or economic system has existed for very long that wasn't flexible.

Let's be clear here, this is bullshit. The "non-capitalist" parts can only exist because of capitalism. Otherwise, whose taxes would pay for them? Whose hard labour would they leech off?

This is why funken's solution of abolishing capitalism is insanity. The effect would be akin to that of turning off a dying man's life-support.

Lets be even more clear, your views are bullshit and they do not concur with the evolution of the human. Do you really think there would be no taxes in Socialism? The hard labor would be from the same people who labor now except the employees would be the owners of the company. The real leaches would be gone. The corporation would turn into a co-op and there would be no use for CEO's a board of directors or especially a stock market. The workers would have a vote in every decision.

One of the major things socialism would be about in the beginning would be taking power away from corporations and giving it to the people. No manufacturing would be state owned it would all belong to the employee's. The state would only exist to make sure people have basic needs and the state that would exist would be completely democratically ran by the people (old school Greek democracy, because fuck Plato and Socrates and their republic).
Eventually technology would be allowed to advance to the point where people do not need to do any real work and they would be able to focus on art or leisure. Robots would basically do all the hard work. If a robot was to break down another robot would fix it.
This only sounds like a utopian fantasy because it hasn't been done yet but it can be done.
One day people will look back on the era we are living through and ask why we were so inhumane to each other. This era of leaders will be looked on as barbarians.

When you get down to it, capitalism is pretty much a system designed so that very dysfunctional creatures such as human beings, who tend to behave according to their baser instincts, can create a rather lopsided and low rent kind of passable civilization.

Indeed, socialism requires much of the higher, enlightened and selfless qualities in order for societies to engage in productive cooperation for the benefit of all.

However to get to that level, it will pretty much require the coming use of genetic bio-engineering which will one day pretty much eliminate these negative human traits.
