The problem is that capitalism isn't an ideology. It is a free market, natural method of commerce. Marx gave it a name so he could demonize it. It also wasn't concocted by some *** who cut and pasted things he stole from early communists, Hegel, Christianity, and various other economic theories. Capitalism is a common sense approach to commerce. Marxism is an ideology based of a severely flawed economic theory that ignores human nature, yet still tries to explain everything through that flawed lens. Unlike Marxists, there are no true adherents to capitalism. Capitalism is as close as it gets to natural economic law. Marxism is a contrivance of power that tries to reduce, then force, everything into its rigid, failed system. Marxists tend to be fanatical about the cult either because they have deluded themselves into believing its lies, and they need to be told what to believe, or because they see it as a vehicle for control over others. Capitalists are just people trying to make money. This country was founded on a broad range of freedoms for the individual so naturally capitalism was the perfect economic model. The political system that evolved was a democratic republic The dominant religion was Christianity. Judeo-Christian morality influenced our laws and tempered our practice of a free market economy. Notice that the Left attacked Judeo-Christian morality first, because it was the enemy the Left most feared. Encouraging honesty, forgiveness, individuality, self-sufficiency, etc aren't conducive to gaining power through envy and hate. Antonio Gramsci believed that unless Judeo-Christian morality was supplanted in America, the revolution would fail. The Left's answer to Judeo-Christian morality was moral relativism. Once moral relativism took hold, they could rehabilitate even evil ideologies like Communism. We mistakenly thought our battle with the Marxists/Communists was economic theory vs economic theory when it was morality vs. amorality. We know their economic theory is utterly ridiculous, and they know Judeo-Christian morality works. They also know that political correctness has paralyzed people with a toxic amoral fog. We have to clear that fog and restore some moral clarity or we can't defeat their totalitarian idiocy.

Best post ever!

I would take the over. Does Vegas do odds on CBO projections vs. reality?

Wouldn't that be fun? Better yet, let's have Vegas give odds on what the politicians projections vs reality are. You could take the over every time and win.
