[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1157917, member: 2189"] Defining capitalism is problematic because there is no hard, fast definition of the term. Just start goggling and consider all the differences you run into. Defending or criticism of almost becomes like a monkey friend'ing a football. However in the OP 804 posted in the 4th paragraph, a description was used in regards to the capitalism being criticized and that is "neo-liberal capitalist policies" and in the Keynesian world of economics, I find that to represent the current economic interventionism of crony or corporate capitalism. If that is the definition of capitalism then I too stand with them and consider myself also anti-capitalist. And in the current manifestation of capitalism with market interventions and fiat currencies, I have no problem what so ever calling myself an anti-capitalist because in those cases I'm opposed to that system of economics. Thus I loosely support many of the global movements as some areas we may overlap and I hope these protests grow and grow and grow. With the announcement of Snowden being charged with espionage, I'd like to see Americans take part in a national sympathy strike but I know it will never happen because the American slave likes his/her cage way too much!
