Dear Editor,
Isn’t it amazing how all the conservative commentators are tripping over each other to convince us, and maybe themselves, that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with capitalism: the present economic disaster is just, pardon us, ‘a minor hiccup’? Methinks thou dost protest too much.
Now, I am no Marxist, communism failed because materialist dialectics is based on flawed tenets. Capitalism will also fail, because of its non-existent ethical foundation.
Finally, a word to the wise: according to my analysis, If we postulate that human knowledge has two sources [1] Innate constructs, like mathematics, which we can discover without external observation, and [2] Material constructs, like the speed of light, which we must observe in order to discover, then we find that, followed to its logical conclusion, no successful social theory can possibly be constructed.
Can somebody prove me wrong?
