First, the "natural-ness" of capitalism is very much in dispute. Secondly, I have never stated any dislike or distaste for capitalism. I hate losing, regardless of whatever game is being played or by whatever name it goes by. But let's be clear, everyone here (assuming everyone is a civil servant of some kind) is really not a capitalist in practice. And further, my criticisms of capitalist practices have been narrowed to runaway finance capitalism, which is certainly not the end-all be-all of human nature.
