    And then there's the issue of morality.

    Whether morality is viewed as absolute or relative a key factor in any moral equation is equitability.

    Capitalism is amoral because it's indifferent to inequality. So in application it results in immorality.

    Capitalists deal with immorality by multiplying the error. By employing the immorality of falsehood. The falsehood that those who have less merit less and that those who have more merit more. What is the truth? Given the reality of causality everyone did the best they could under the circumstances. Everyone deserves nothing less than the very best from a moral standpoint.

    True socialism/communism makes an explicit structural commitment to equality and unlike capitalism is a moral entity at its base.

    The current system consists of capitalist underpinnings with a few socialist stopgaps -- under the systematic attack of those fueled by greed or bigotry or immorality or ignorance. (Bigotry = the view that some people deserve less than others). It's not a situation any moral person can let stand.

    Eight Reasons Why Capitalists Want to Sell You
    Deodorant.

    1. Body smells are erotic and sexual. Capitalists
    don't like that because they are impotent and opposed
    to all manifestations of sensuality and sexuality.
    Sexually awakened people are potentially dangerous to
    capitalists and their rigid, asexual system.

    2. Body smells remind us that we are animals.
    Capitalists don't want us to be reminded of that.
    Animals are dirty. They eat things off the ground, not
    out of plastic wrappers. They are openly sexual. They
    don't wear suits or ties, and they don't get their
    hair done. They don't show up to work on time.

    3. Body smells are unique. Everyone has her own body
    smell. Capitalists don't like individuality. There are
    millions of body smells but only a few deodorant
    smells. Capitalists like that.

    4. Some deodorants are harmful. Capitalists like that
    because they are always looking for new illnesses to
    cure. Capitalists love to invent new medicines.
    Medicines make money for them and win them prizes;
    they also cause new illnesses so capitalists can
    invent even more new medicines.

    5. Deodorants cost you money. Capitalists are
    especially pleased about that.

    6. Deodorants hide the damage that capitalist products
    cause your body. Eating meat and other chemical-filled
    foods sold by capitalists makes you smell bad. Wearing
    pantyhose makes you smell bad. Capitalists don't want
    you to stop wearing pantyhose or eating meat.

    7. Deodorant-users are insecure. Capitalists like
    insecure people. Insecure people don't start trouble.
    Insecure people also buy room fresheners, hair
    conditioners, makeup, and magazines with articles
    about dieting.

    8. Deodorants are unnecessary. Capitalists are very
    proud of that and they win marketing awards for it.
