Sorry to dash your free market fantasies, buddy, but you should know that the banking industry would whole-heartedly agree with your call for less 'state interference'. They made a lot of money through predatory lending due to deregulation and a lack of 'state interference'. The public was much better off when it had more oversight and control over the banking industry. The 'free' market capitalist thinking that has influenced our leaders since Reagan has made things worse, not better.
Downvoted for calling the other protesters fascists. Nazi Germany was a capitalist society.
blankfistI never liked the Guy Fawkes mask at protests. Some Anarchists and Libertarians have been doing it for years, and it bothers me that they'd liken their cause to terrorism. I want a peaceful evolution, not a violent revolution.
That being said... The banking industry doesn't want free markets. I know this because investment bankers have said as much. What we have now is a nationalized pro-corporate marketplace. The regulations are everywhere, and they've choked out small business and emboldened large corporations and big bankers.
I doubt people like Jonas Salk would be able to research and put into the market the polio vaccine when facing a minimum of $4-5 million to pay for FDA approval today.

"The Nazis denounced both capitalism and communism, accusing both of being associated with Jewish influences and interests. They claimed that capitalism damages nations due to international finance, the economic dominance of big business, and Jewish influences within it. They claimed that communism was dangerous to the well-being of nations because of its intention to dissolve private property, its support of class conflict and its aggression against the middle class, its hostility to small businessmen, and its atheism. In response, Nazis declared support for a form of socialism that is to provide for the nation: economic security, social welfare programs for workers, a just wage, honour for workers' importance to the nation, and protection from capitalist exploitation. Nazism, however, rejected class conflict-based socialism and economic egalitarianism, favouring instead a stratified economy with classes based on merit and talent, retaining private property, and the creation of national solidarity that transcends class distinction. To rescue Germany from the effects of the Great Depression, Nazism promoted an economic “third position”; a managed economy that was neither capitalist nor communist."

Brits can't be free market fundies, too?
westyyah there are load sof people in the UK that just dont get it ,
they dont reolise that in the end whats required ( as is almost always the case) is a ballence of goverment regulatoin to stop supe rmonoalies and welth migratoin to the super rich. and allow for a open market that is still competative through all levels .
people who think that a "free unregulated " market is the best idea are just compleaty ignorent to the realities that not everyone is on a level playing faild to start with.
its like in motersport saying IT SHOULD BE TOTALY UNREGULATED and what you would get is the team that started with the most money winning all the time. which would result in a lack of competitoin and no real piont in taking part in the race.

Farhad2000What's so elegant and theatrical about this.
The man clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
In our world right now, capitalism needs the government and government needs capitalism.
