accumulate wealth or those that think they have the right to other people's
money without having to work for it? The anti-Wall street protesters are far
more greedy. They want things for nothing.
The communist system caused the creation of black markets where people were able
to get goods that could not be produced in abundance under communism. Greed and
the desire for things is a product of human nature, not of capitalism.

About the only thing these hippies, hipsters, senior citizens who never

> replaced with something else because of greed.
> What they either do not understand or choose to ignore is that greed is
> not a capitalist invention. Greed exists because people do. Greed exists in
> capitalist societies, socialist societies, and communist societies.
> All men are created equal and all men are born into this world as sinners.
> One of those sins is greed.
> The few people who claim to be without greed are typically greedy for the
> praise of others or full of pride at not being greedy. Pride is a far worse
> sin than greed because pride is the root of most every sin.
> But of all the varieties of greed out there, what the hippies do not seem

> Greed in a capitalist system takes the form of money รข€" lust for it, the

> Greed in socialist and communist systems takes the form of power. Just as a
