Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~Capitalism cultivates a relativistic mindset because it rewards the popular rather than the good.
~Capitalism fosters coveting, envy, greed, and materialism.
~Since the means of production were produced in collaboration with other people why shouldn’t everyone share equally in their benefits?
~Does the Book of Acts seem more like capitalism or more like communism to you?
~Only a centrally planned system can preserve a decent culture.
~By not being in control of wealth, people aren’t tempted to worship money like in capitalistic societies.
~Capitalism alienates the laborer from the product he creates.
~Isn’t equality better?
~The love of money is the root of all sorts of evil.
~Some problems are too big to be trusted to private enterprise.
~Government is an excellent deliverer of many services.
