I would like the same protesters with banners saying something like "communism sucks". Their critics to capitalism and free trade may be legit and helpful, but unless they come up with a better realist proposal it is shear demagogy. I don't see them emigrating to Cuba, China or other countries.
There are countries where capitalism and socialism work just fine together. Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Spain. Denmark and Sweden frequently top lists of countries with the best living standards in the world.
The world is bigger than the US, China and Cuba you know.

"There are countries where capitalism and socialism work just fine together. Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Spain. Denmark and Sweden frequently top lists of countries with the best living standards in the world."
Except that NONE of the "socialist parties" in those countries actually supports the marxist theory anymore.
In fact they rejected socialism and they define themselves as social-democrat.
There is a reason why with the exception of France and Spain no social-democrat party in Europe calls itself socialist since the first world war.
The world is bigger than capitalism vs socialism you know.
Felix Said :
Marx was a Communist, not a Socialist. Socialism is the belief in socialization of necessities, not of everything as Communism suggests.
A fourth economic system exists. Far to the right (farther than Capitalism) is Corporatism. This belief holds that everything should be privatized, including school systems, transit, and medicine. Corporatism is the belief of many of the extreme right, such as the right-wing Republicans of America.
Check your facts please.
Brian Said :
Felix is incorrect of course. Republicans don't support Corporatism for everything because it doesn't work for every situation.
