Anyway, this does not just apply to individuals, but we can see how (without any real alterations to the principle) it can also be extended to groups of people, such as Families, Corporations, and Classes. Therefore, under Capitalism, the Families, Corporations, and Classes that are already on top are going to attempt to continue to be on top. This would, of course, happen under any system, but the problem with Capitalism is that it actually supports their efforts, while treading on the fingers of those from lower down who attempt to climb up. Do you see what I'm getting at?

Well, that's not my definition of it, but yea, you may be right? I don't know, I'm too lazy to do research.* Though that definition is a slight contradiction in itself, as if in Capitalism "should attempt to accumulate as much money as possible", I don't see why that makes it harder for those of lower down attempting to climb up.
Again, probably the current
form that is actually applied not just in theory but in practise shows this, but the ideal as you put it in the first paragraph does not result in what you said in the second. = No, I am not seeing what you are getting at.
Diss me Nazi if you must. *l*
*Mm, no, I'm actually not avoiding the question. I am downright too lazy to look it up. Quote me on this, please, if you feel the urge, because it's the truth.

Maybe there is a god. *snickers* Maybe He's punishing me for my non-faith. Err... right, sure.
