RÉFLEXION: Le capitalisme en déclin ?

@ Anonyme

Let's clarify the nitty-gritty!

I mentioned "rich" within the context of The Financial Deregulation in the U S. One can be RICH - WEALTHY in Fixed and Lquid Assets; Rich in Creative Ideas: Paintings, Music, Sculpture, Writing; Rich Intellectually.
Van Gogh died as a pauper, but a very creative painter; Beethoven was musically rich; your farway idyllic island
has produced talented artists: Marcel Cabon, André Decotter, Raymond Chasle, Edward Monique, Malcolm de Chazal,
Constantin, Charoux, to name just a few. I trust you've got the gist by now.
NOBODY, absolutely nobody can coerce, or has got the right to compel you to believe in what you don't believe, pure and simple. You've got your opinion, one has got one's opinion, but one can, and one must be able to agree to differ, humbly and with with civility.
Yes, Socialism has collapsed, Capitalism has shown its ugly face, hence the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. People are showing their anger across the U S, and Europe. The "Arab Spring" has not only awakened the so-called Leaders in the Mid-East from their slumber, but ISLAM, per se, is having a better appreciation, in Europe at least. Suffice to say that it isn't a Religion, per se, but A Complete Way of Life, which encompasses the socio-economic, political well-being of Man. My previous comment was about A SYNTHESIS of both Socialism and Capitalism, and NOT SHARI'AH - Man's interpretation of the Holy Qur'an as expounded by the various Muslim Schools of Thought. The narratives of the Holy Qur'an itself, covering Wealth Distribution; the behaviour of Buyer and Seller; The Financial Lender and The Borrower; Good Governance; THE WOMAN'S LIBERATION which came about five decades ago in Europe; Partnership and Profit-Sharing in place of INTEREST; Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)-a Recent New Concept in The West. So, please have a look into the Islamic Socio-Economics,Every Aspect of FINANCE, Politics, Behavioural Approach in Society, in Any Society. IT'S NOT UTOPIAN IN ANY SENSE, because THE CREATOR ONLY IS THE PERFECT ONE, and Man is an abstraction of HIS PERFECTION. MAN does make mistake, one is liable to make mistake, but with THE ALMIGHTY'S GIFT - Man's Brain, a better Socio-Economic and Peaceful World must be the Honest and Sincere Ambition of Any Society. You're guaranteed a mental gymnastic, honestly. You'll then realise that a TRUE MUSLIM STATE, NEVER MIND ISLAMIC STATE, DOESN'T EXIST, hence the "Arab Spring". Also, you'll come to know why The Muslim World has failed to produce anything in the field of Science and Technology, Medical Research, over the past five centuries, and The Advent of THE MUSLIM MORASS.
I invite you to take that Intellectual Odyssey avec un esprit ouvert, then you'll have an insight into how the Muslims have recoiled into the bliss of blind faith with absolute contentment, but with very sad and devastating effects.
Meanwhile, I wish you Peace, La Paix, Namaste, Shalom, and Salaam

Au train ou vont les choses, je vois mal le capitalisme " exister jusqu'à la dernière trace de vie sur notre planète", comme l'espère Vendetta. Les jours sont comptés pour ce systéme exécrable qui n'a pour vocation que de broyer la multitude de faibles pour engraisser une minorité de richissimes sans scrupules. Il faut se rendre à l'évidence: c'est un système qui perpétue l'esclavage, supposément aboli, en le transformant dans une forme moderne et scientifique, pour ne pas dire machiavélique. Les maîtres ont bien calculé leur coup: présenter au monde une méthode d'enrichissement et de bien-être matétriel ou le progrès à deux vitesses est savamment camouflé, voir invisible, alors que les mêmes producteurs de cette richesse sont ceux qui bénéficient de la croissance inférieure. On a imposé au monde un monstre, qui se nourrit des souffrances des pauvres, qui crée la pluie et le beau-temps par saccades de dépressions spéculatives. Quand le monstre bouge,c'est la peur et l'incertitude qui s'installent. Les prix flambent, l'inflation grimpe et la misère s'installe.
Le socialisme a péri, plus vite que prévu, entrainant dans sa chute misère et désolation sans précédent. Le capitalisme, éssouflé à bout, se débat sur son lit de mort. Que reste-t-il comme alternatif? Le système Islamique. Retour aux prescriptions divines. Le même message qu'avaient apporté au monde Jesus et Moise, repris et parfait par Mahomet. Beaucoup de pays essaient avec succés et satisfaction le modéle financier et économique Islamique. Le systéme banquier Islamique fonctionne à merveille. Il n'y a pas de mal ni de honte à essayer un modèle proposé, si l'on est honnête dans sa quête de solutions. Tout autant qu'on ne devient pas Musulman si l'on adopte le systéme, la foi demeurant non-imposable.

Any debate ought to be carried out based on pure reasoning, without passion or emotion. The failure of capitalism, based on interest, to make a just and humane society has been proved. Yet, it seems we'll have to bear with it for quite some time as long as the 'capital' remains in the hands of the very few.
Islamic financing/banking has started to be aired since some time. Why not give it a chance? I refer mainly to Vendetta's comment. We should not blindly believe that it is doomed to fail simply because there is a state of unrest in many of the Arab countries. Who says that the Muslim leaders have really lived according to Islamic precepts? We should not outright condemn 'charia' based on the malpractice of others. Rather, let's try to make an independent search, and believe me, the experience is very enriching.
