Am I evil?
Is being a capitalist and/or a libertarian evil?

If so, I'll convert to a socialist right this instant. Just say the word.

Capitalist is evil... Libertarianism isn't.

Diss, be a hedonist, if it feels good do it.


Seriously though, don't care what other people think is good or evil, make your own judgements.

If you would convert instantly, why don't you just become a socialist? What's holding you back dissident?

the fact that I don't think socialism would work. Ideally I would like to be a socialist- but I know it can't work.

So if it cannot work, don't believe in it! Nothing 'bad' about the decision.

There's nothing stopping you from being a capitalist and/or libertarian and helping the poor. Many do.

Diss, if your evil than so am I, but I am not evil because you are not evil in my opinion... how's that for reasoning?

Your a realist trying to survive in a real world.

Belief systems of themselves are not evil. The practical application of belief systems can be evil.

No evil systems, just evil actions.

Libertarianism is evil.

There's nothing wrong with the capitalism of the social liberal brand.

I'll add to the chorus. Libertarianism is evil. Capitalism isn't. But you should become a socialist anyway, as that ideology can coexist with capitalism, as it does in Europe.
