Why Conservatives cannot defend Capitalism on Moral grounds

Conservatives will never be heard defending capitalism on moral and ethical grounds. They are very careful to avoid what they see as a moral minefied and concentrate exclusively on economics. Because socialism and communism as an economic theory was exploded in the last century this is pretty safe territory but it avoids the chief and fundamental issue which everyone places way above economics and that is ethics and morality.

Here the tories are very weak and vulnerable and it shows. They become evasive and apologetic and end up in the position of conceding implicitly that socialism is morally superior to capitalism but they will manage it better economically and will 'balance the books' thus conceding the moral high ground to the Left and appearing shifty and defensive towards capitalism, damning it with faint praise.

This is why socialism never dies and keeps on coming out of remission as it has never been confronted head on and the reason is quite simple. At the heart of socialism is the Christian philosophy of altruism, the idea that human beings exist to serve others and as both the socialist movement and the conservative movements come out of the Christian tradition of self sacrifice and and altruism the latter cannot take a principled stand against it without betraying their Christian heritage and traditions.

Only a political movement unburdened by the self immolating Christian baggage of altruism and self sacrifice can morally challenge and reject socialism effectively and put forward a philosophy of self interest and independence and champion the only political system that allows it expression and full unobstructed rein, namely capitalism. That is why we need a Capitalist Party.
