Capitalism is a philosophy of punctuation. Capitalists are people who believe that all words shouldbe capitalized, no matter what the situation.
For instance, the sentence:
- "This is a sentence."
would be written this way by a capitalist:
- "This Is MY Sentence."
This is, of course, ridiculous.
Some extreme forms of capitalism demand the capitalization of every letter within a word (THIS IS A SENTENCE). Such extreme capitalists are common on AOL, and frequently post to Usenet pushing their capitalist agenda.
Capitalism used to be opposed by Communism, which believes that all letters should be brought together as equals. Therefore, a communist would write the above sentence like this:
- "thisisasentence"
Unfortunately, this practice made Communist writing very hard to read, and eventually led to the movement's collapse in 1975.
However, with the advent of text messaging, a spin off of Communism, called Socialism sprang up. This doctrine stated that all letters should be socially equal, but not "together as one."
- "whats up man"
The above sentence is a very frequently used statement in the Socialist community.
Other forms of Socialism even require that their words be degraded, sometimes even to letters, and that their letters be degraded to numbers.
- "wut r u doin 4 lunch"
Socialism's main proponents include text messagers (they call themselves "txt msgrs") and instant messagers (they call themselves "imrs").

[edit] Origin
"The microwaveable, cheese like food like product" which represents the highest ideas of Capitalism.
Capitalism derives its roots from the Latin word "capital" meaning "head" and "ism" meaning "gooey, cheeselike substance." It was created by a group of men calling themselves the "justification league." Capitalism has been misunderstood by the left and right of the political spectrum: Capitalism's ultimate purpose is to allow those born into luxury to justify to themselves that they deserve it and to give those not born into luxury a life purpose to dismiss those creating wealth as 'oppressors'.
Capitalism is a system of economics that entails the rights of the elite to control the means of production and enslave the workers, with limited state control and judicially preserved property "rights." This system rewards those who create what the market is demanding, even if the market is demanding more videos of Tara Reid's deformed nipple slip or microwavable cheese products. Just kidding. You have to be a douchebag and a sellout willing to step on the meek to get anywhere. Some consider Tom Cruise, who isn't gay[citation needed], to be a capitalist.
One of the remarkable aspects of Capitalism is how a great diversity of businesses are started and the massive number of them that fail miserably, yet how many morons keep believing that they will be millionaires at any moment through infomercials or cleverly placed classified advertisements.
Capitalism is generally opposed by people who feel a moral opposition to having to work. Most of these traitors are hippy college students who fellate Noam Chomsky and think Che Guevara is the guy from Rage Against the Machine. When mommy and daddy don't buy you a car, it is oppression upon the proletariat!
The pivotal text for understanding Capitalism is Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations", which outlined how capitalism would inevitably result in the rise of empires, the growth in free trade and the mysterious career of Alan Thicke. In the book, Smith also outlines the hidden costs of tariffs and taxes that limit national growth and how this would inevitably lead to reality television.
[edit] Before Capitalism
Prior to the advent of Capitalism, several other economic systems had been employed by the many anthropologically stimulating civilizations of the ancient world. Such systems are easily distinguishable from Capitalism despite the fact that they were also primarily concerned with the problem of capital.
The primary difference between Capitalism and other economic systems is that other systems revolve around the institution of slavery-the practice of forcing individuals to work under threat of physical harm, or even death. In a capitalist society, however, individuals work voluntarily in order to avoid termination. Or death by starvation.
Should an individual choose to work, he or she is sometimes rewarded with the means to feed, clothe, and/or shelter him or herself. Usually however, not. In exceptional circumstances, individuals may also be assigned a physician. In most circumstances however, they become the butt of jokes of middle-class teenagers, who have just finished reading Ayn Rand's "Fountainhead" and think it a documentary.

[edit] Capitalism: A Continuing Story
For a period of time following the aforementioned collapse of Communism, capitalist societies were free from the problems created by other societies doing things differently with lesbians. However, starting in the mid-1990's, some academics from special education classes put forth the idea that some modifications might need to be made to the system.
Most of the proposed changes, such as Universal Health Care, were readily dismissed as pointless attempts at improving upon an already flawless system. However, a few proposals, such as tort reform, managed to gain widespread support among the educated masses. The sudden collapse of two prominent capitalist headquarters of the United States of America in 2001, combined with Don King's mathematically elegant proof that tort reform was in fact completely consistent with the current model, confirmed that no modifications need be made to Capitalism's current incarnation.

[edit] Alternatives to Capitalism
Why Communism, of course! Come comrades, for we must remove the shackles placed upon the working man by the bourgeois Republicans so that we may live in harmony in the glorious workers paradise!
The Capitalist system works wonderfully in theory but when you put it into practice it just dosent seem to work.
It should be duly noted by all of humanity that Capitalism is ultimately an injustice. The same applies to any other ludicrous and, ultimately, oppressive socio-politico-economic structure of state society/civilization; including but not limited to- capitalism, socialism, Main Page - nazism, fascism, capitalism, democracy/republicanism, feudalism, capitalism, aristocracy/monarchy, etc.
In short, there is no fundamentally viable alternative to capitalism within state-society, aside from communism, (Besides maybe whatever France has?) So start a tribe... you'll love it.
Or anarchists, who lead the path to wisdom. Abandon capitalism and you throw your chains from your shoulders. Onwards to a freedom so great that society can't help but collapse! Also, never trust anyone called an anarcho-capitalist. They are evil free-market goblins in disguise.
[edit] Critics
Throughout human history there were many important critics of capitalism, the most outspoken of them being Marx. One of his most famous statements on the failures of capitalism is: "capitalismisallwrong,man!itisinhumane,evilandkickkittensfornoreasonatall!". Many critics criticized Marx however, stating that "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHY DON'T YOU DO IT BETTER? BITCH!". To which Marx answered "iam!youjustdon'tnoticeit'cuzyoucan'tseethewayiamspeakingthewords". Marx's critics were baffled, but some years later a guy claimed he understood what he meant, so that he could become a dictator more easily and conquered Russia.
Marx also claimed that he would have supported capitalism, except he couldn't work out how to "get his bling on". Engels often pimped his ride for him. 'sup.
