A friend of sorts is always anticipating the fall of capitalism with a relish which is altogether unhealthy. He particularly enjoys tales of property investors whose calculations go askew and end up with negative equity. If you point out that his pleausre at others hubris has its roots in the repossession of his house for bad debts decades ago he brushes it off as having nothing to do with it.
For myself I relish and anticipate the fall of socialism in this country with equal if not greater intensity than my friend wishes the demise of capitalism. To me capitalism is about the survival of the fittest and most intelligent whereas socialism is about the survival of the unfittest and stupidest. Who in their right minds would want the latter to prevail -other than envy-eaten mediocrities?
