Great anology. I call the shark infested waters "Capitalism" and the Ocean, if it exists, without sharks - Free Market Economy.
I would love to find the Ocean called "Free Market Economy"
Well, I take your point. You do have, in fact, a better analogy there. But I would simply argue that if we demonize the term "capitalism" we may give fuel to the socialists. That is all.
Capitalism vs Socialism is a false dichotomy. We should all be in search of the conditions that can ensure Free Market Economy remains uncorrupted no matter what.
I would start with:
No fiat currency
No fractional reserve system
Just these two will take away the ability to create funny money, which in turn can be used to corrupt the free market.
I do think there are more conditions we need - including base level of human awakening - to ensure free markets will never be corrupted in future.
Alternately, if it turns out we live in a resource abundant world that has been hidden from us, then its possible that we do not even need a market economy.
It can work the other way around. When you see people screaming about socialism and how capitalism is bad, if you were to respond with
"I agree both socialism and capitalism is bad because both are based on corrupt frameworks, what we need is true free market economy" and from there explain why capitalism is not free market economy, and why the social goals of socialism can actually be fulfilled by a free market economy thats not corrupted.
You can find yourself sharing a lot of common ground with these folks, while also educating them.
Fair call - that does indeed sound like a better strategy. Makes more sense and allows for common ground to be found, as you say. Thanks for persevering and explaining!
No worries, thats one of the things that I realised was my job in this battle for Great Awakening.
