1. Capitalism ignores the Commandment “you shall not steal”: Extreme Capitalism is a grievous social disorder. It is an unfair system that “gives 5 and takes 10” where the dignity of work is not valued… where greed of the powerful is the name of the game and where the hunt for profits, the need to get as much money as quickly as possible.
   French leftist say: It's time to overthrow capitalism.
   I say capitalism needs to be completely overhauled. As it is now, it is at least as bad as communism.
   The answer is surely an economic and labour system based on ethics and social justice.
   I say that all workers (whether they use manual skills, their strength or their brain-power) are contributing equally to the “greater good” of the community/nation. Therefore I would even recommend that all worker in every category be paid the same wage (with perhaps a special bonus added to work which is particularly hazardous/life threatening).
   In an interesting book, Another Marx: A new 'Das Kapital' , written by Munich's Roman Catholic Archbishop Reinhard Marx says his work is to some extent 'an argument with Marxism" which was deeply flawed from the start so that 'the consequences were in the end disastrous' for humanity. Reinhard Marx wrote the first chapter of his Das Kapital: A Plea for Humanity" as a letter to his 'dear namesake' — the 19th century ideologist Karl Marx… to highlight the value of Catholic social teaching and a far better way in a globalized world.
