Bullshit Doug. On the contrary, any statement of the kind you want
would be arrogant and stupid, not merely utopian. No one except
a few academics and journalists (I ignore sheer demogogues) has
ever taken up resistance to capitalism on the basis of being convinced
there is a "better system." And frankly I doubt the good faith of
anyone who asks such questions.
