The best system? Nah. It's idealistic, just like communism. Crony-capitalism is a testament to the failure of capitalism, and the solution cannot be more capitalism.

Markets need to be regulated to prevent various forms of parasitism and to keep the system stable. The system itself is dead, but we humans are not. Therein lies the problem with both capitalism and communism.

I disagree. Economic freedom is important, and what we need to ensure it is allowing the people to maintain, keep and bear arms. Culture must be pro-individual, not pro-entity. Examples of this can be seen in the mining wars of West Virginia, people taking up arms against coal companies and their hired guns. Currently there is no difference between gov and corporations, and tyranny can be had from both. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we as a nation need to overthrow the massive entities every few decades to stay healthy. The issue is those entities trick people into believing they're needed.

Not too related, this is the one problem with the constitution. It was not explicit enough in stating when we should rise up. The fathers stated tyranny, but they did not state examples of it. (Yes people are stupid enough to not recognize it). Had they stated the creation of a federal reserve as a violation, private entities violating rights, etc, maybe more people would get it. I suppose this is why the fathers had voting rights for landowners exclusively.
