Pure capitalism is the more appropriate term.

Democracy is also illegitimate system. Goes well with communism. You are right, communism doesnt mean fascism, but they are 99% identical collectivist regimes. Both show total disrespect towards freedom and individual rights.

FoL: I just don't think that electing a government to act as a co-ordinating body for the people constitutes slavery. [/quote]
And what does constitute slavery to you? Co-ordinating people, that is a nice way to put it. Governments coordinate people, take away fruits of their labour and live off them. How is that different from slave owners? The difference is in degree, not in the substance.
