When Capitalism Stumbles & Falls, Should “socialist” Plotters Get The Political Blame?

Or if we don’t blame secret “socialist” or “Marxists” in government for supposedly MAKING capitalist fall into crisis, what about blaming the Illuminati, or secret plotters who are trying to prepare the way for the New World Order?
That’s what I hear some people in YA Politics doing, I think. When both Republican administrations and Democratic administrations seem to have the devil’s own time trying to fix the American capitalist economy, I see some commentators concluding that the world is facing a “planned” collapse.
They argue that the global economy is faring badly because the Illuminati, the Masons, the Queen of England, and/or the “New World Order” are deliberately MAKING the economy fail — supposedly to prepare everyone for a Socialist One World Government.
How realistic is this explanation of global and national economic problems, do you think?
Do you agree that American capitalism is so strong and so beneficial, and so resistant to ordinary business crisis, that only secretive anti-capitalist plotters can make it do bad things?
Do you think the worse the capitalist stock market, real estate market or job market gets, the more this “proves” some secretive socialist conspiracy must be gaming the system? Since free-enterprise capitalism would never experience big problems with the stock market, real estate market or jobs market on its own?
Or is it logically simpler to suggest that when capitalist economies go bad, it’s at least partly because of the capitalists?
And that when capitalist financial industries go bad, it’s not mostly because the bankers are secret Illuminati agents, but mostly because they’re making mistakes as bankers?

    Without reading your whole blog, if it fails in the USA, the government will have been at fault.

    Capitalism may have stumbled, but it ain’t never fell.

    Capitalism didn’t stumble, some CAPITALISTS did.

    What I know is that capitalism has survived everything thrown at it for more than ten thousand years. I also know that the only times it has faltered or failed or even not improved the overall quality of life is when governments tampered with it. Socialism is one of the worst forms of tampering and has been demonstrated as a failure time after time.
    @Yes, it has. Money as we know it today is not really any different form seashells ten thousand years ago, or salt, for that matter. Think about it carefully because archeologists and anthropologists strongly disagree with you. Ask yourself this: What is the oldest profession and how were they paid? When did prostitution start as a business?
    However, even if it had only bee five thousand years, it would have still far outlasted socialism.

    Capitaism is dead as we know it.
    Now is the time for the largest and most powerful corporations to sieze control with the help of their republican puppets.

    Since our current economic crisis was brought on primarily by government meddling in the banking and auto industries, the premise of your question makes no sense.
    EDIT: When banks are told by federal regulators that they must make housing loans to people who are unqualified, that is government interfering with capitalism. The resulting debacle can hardly be called a “failure of capitalism”.
    Glad I could clarify that for you.

    Capitalism is like a strong man pushing a large rock up a hill. Socialsts and government regulators are beating the man with clubs around the legs and head. So when the man finally succumbs to the beating, it is idiots like you who blame the man for not being strong enough to overcome the brutal beatings he is receiving every day.

    I don’t see how I live in a Capitalist system when I give the governments almost 45% of my wages.
    Look how Socialist policies have failed the poor in NY State. We have the highest taxes, most government jobs, and 30% poverty in Upstate cities. If Socialism works, where are the results? http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial-pag…

    It’s socialism that created the current economic situation. The Federal Government, through Fannie May and Freddie Mac, forced banks to loan money to those not capable of paying it back. The Government created this problem, not capitalism.
