   at least as currently practiced, SUCKS. "Socialism" does, too.'

I stuck "at least as currently practiced" for a reason. Multiple reasons, actually. One was to open up a space to more cleanly discuss capitalism vs socialism.

To strip out those words and just leave "Capitalism SUCKS" is to massively misquote me and totally mistake my argument...and the purpose for the short essay.

Did you have thoughts about whole concept of "ILLth"?
