    Okay, I think we have different definitions of socialism. In my book that’s a fair society where everyone gets the stuff he needs and gives the stuff he can. Can’t really make this work fairly with racism and sexism can you?

    Sure you can change the political system (from unbound parliament to bound council) but that not a society changed from capitalism to socialism.

    But I think this is a question of definition, more important is the question of “can you have capitalism without discrimination” and I really don’t think so. You need the army of unemployed so your system doesn’t collapse and you can’t have an army of unemployed if you don’t have some reason why they should suffer.

    Also capitalism literally works in the way, that you get played as low as possible, so discriminating people to pay them less is so encouraged by the system, that it is practically build into the system .

    On everything you said after that: “amen”!
