The logic doesn't follow. Free market economies have brought the most prosperity the world has ever known. They aren't perfect, but they certainly aren't broken. Communism/Socialism ONLY and ALWAYS brings suffering, and ultimately death, to the masses and has NEVER worked, yet people think we should abandon something that does work for something that doesn't.
They just simply can't grasp that capitalism brings EVERYONE up and along for the ride. Or maybe they do and are just fukn Pinko Commies.
