::::::::So you see my friend, while we can scientifically and academically pick Marx's ''Das Kapital'' apart, and demonstrate its flaws and failings, by contrast [[Adam Smith]]'s ''Wealth of Nations'' is not a textbook of ideology or a substitute for the Bible. It is rather like a Volvo repair manual, it gives a mechanical description of operations that allow the human species to survive in a civilized society. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 23:35, 25 June 2007 (EDT)

:::::::::So you wish to say that capitalism is ''not'' an ideology, but socialism is? You wish to define ''Das Kapital'' as an "alternative to the Bible"? You state that capitalism has kept humanity alive since day one?
:::::::::I'll indulge you and agree to that analysis of the situation. If socialism is an ideology, than communism is a ''type'' of socialism; like lassez-faire capitalism is a ''type'' of capitalism. Once again, trying to make "socialism" synonymous with "communism" is simply inaccurate. Including a picture of fascist dictators on the "socialism" article is simply wrong, and I believe you know this. --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Ĥøĵĭmåçħôńğ''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 01:30, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
