Your problem is that there is only black and white for you. It's either total free market or totalitarian system. Both are utopia with the potential to do much distruction. My statement about the paralelles between Naziism and (extrem) neo-liberal free market economy were mostly meant to provoke you. I didn't say the I have a problem with (social) free markets. I believe that free markets have their place but that they are unable to solve certain social and environmental problems and that they certainly have no place in education and a limited place in media. I in no way wrote or implied that I believe in central economic planning or in totalitarian systems (and this is also true for all environmentalists that I have met in my life). IMO an ethic built on complete egotism is as absurd as an ethic built on complete altruism. Obviously there has to be a healthy share of both so we might as well stop discussing either extreme and start discussing which inbetween makes the most sense.
