OK Vernon, we are making some progress here so don't fuck it up.
So do we agree now that under Capitalism the gubmint does not control credit, the currency, banking ......etc, it controls NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ernest, I never claimed it didn't, it a purely theoretical model.
But if all you are interested in is lecturing someone concerning your interpretations of applications then be sanctimonious with someone else, I'm not interested. If you desire a rational discussion between informed adults then please continue in a non derisive vein.
I am not being sanctimonious, please realize that some folks can't handle the truth.
"Every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine of state supremacy sooner or later. . . . Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey. A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state. Isabel Paterson, The God of the Machine (1943)
You are discussing eventualities which I totally agree with, I am addressing current systems which have yet to achieve that status.
And yes, you were being sanctimonious, you were talking down to me, not discussing the issue.
