Absolutely - but now you're advocating that we "critique" our way out from under capitalism? I don't mean to sound cheeky - really not - but of both this and your previous post I feel like I need to ask: Where's the outrage? Please take that with the respect intended; it's not a question I even bother with for people I don't hold in pretty high regard.
