Reader comments about this quote:

I disagree about the need to destroy capatalism, that's what we have modern politicians for. And they're using racism as part of the smoke screen to hide the fact that destroying capitalism is exactly what they are doing. I refer you to another quote from this site: "We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism." - Nikita Khrushchev (So that's how it happened.) -- Eddy E., Portland, OR
Never scary to think that people can think such things... Im sure who ever said this must have have been a supporter of the new world order, which is trying to develop one world communism... -- Captain America, seattle

The reason why many see capitalism as such a evil is because it allows a person to be ridiculously wealthy. While there is still a large children living in poverty. This is how you can view capitalism as an evil. Hope I help you understand ones opinion on the subject matter. -- Bruce, Los Angles
