Definitions
When terms are explicitly defined, confusion and contention can be avoided. Accept the following definitions at face value. They are not meant to be anatomically correct but rather for edification.
Capitalism: A system where individuals are allowed to own property and choose its use, within ethical bounds.
Degradation of Society: The changing of a society's structure to be a mixture of Capitalism and Socialism which maximizes the controlling group's power and wealth. Under pure capitalism, the power of any group is limited through ethical competition. Due to human behavior, pure socialism cannot sustain itself.
Enemy: A sentient being who acquires property without the owners consent or one who endorses such an action: A murderer steals your life: An abuser steals your security. A fellow citizen votes for a tyrant who steals your possessions.
Ethical: The description of a situation where all participants, in the absence of fraud, exchange property of their own free will.
Fiat Money: An artificial money created by complex laws and bureaucracy: The Dollar exists because of the Federal Reserve System: Laws are in place to forbid citizens from using other forms of money such as precious metals.
Property: Any item acquired by an individual through inheritance or by ethical trade: Examples of property include creations, land, ideas, money...
Socialism: A system where the government owns property and allows its citizens limited use. Citizens are also property of the state.
