		<description>The downfall of capitalism isn&#039;t that sometimes a few bad apples stray from the path of righteousness and ruin the fun for everyone else, but that capitalism ENCOURAGES such behavior.  Success based on the failure of others is hardly something to cherish.</description>

		<description>Salam !

you know what ?
there is no one in afghanistan to work for our future, if i clrearly say this it means that every body is corrupt here in afghanistan. 

lets have the parlement members. what is their job?
are they getting paied by afghan government to do nothing, to have a nice house or building, to drive an expenside cars and have some guards to protect them. 

i know some PMs that they are from south and the only thing that they did for south (Helmand Province) is made nice buildings for themself.

what is their job? why they are getting paied that much money?
why they have cars and gaurds and nice buildings?
while we have our own nationals bigging for food and money. they have no house to live no food to eat and no work to earn money.
who is going to think about these local nationals?


my last question is that why they are still alive and why the afghan government is not letting the new generation to take reponsibility?

peace</description>

		<description>Dear Readers,

This leader of couple of thugs, not the Afghan people have exploited Afghanistan to built their mansions and load up their Swiss Bank Accounts (which I find it hard to believe they are not frozen).

This guy and Dostum, Rabanni, Gul Buddin etc are War Criminals confirmed by the West, yet they are given the freedom to roam as they please b/e they promise the West that they have control.

They don&#039;t have anything that is why the West is in the mess they are in today.  

So from an Afghan to this low life thug, go to hell.  For those that support him for what ever reason, please wake up and SO SOMTHING GOOD FOR A CHANGE.

PEACE</description>

		<description>This blog entry suggests that capitalism can be good:
http://boheriksen.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/are-capitalists-really-psychopaths/

This is one response:

It is not an illogical error to reject capitalism, it is an expression of the desires and thoughts of probably still the majority of the world’s population, certainly in the Amazon and many other so-called developing places we’ve direct experiences with.

It is not a “nirvana fallacy” (which sounds like a displacement designed to maintain a shopper’s delight), but rather a sensible reaction to the problems caused by an economic system which - and this illogical - treats the planetary resource systems as infinite, when any idiot that can think twice will realise that rivers, trees and fish are finite. Clearly finite. Even the sun’s rays are, on some level, finite: there is only so much energy per day/week/year emanating from the sun.

For people who live in the developed world and go supermarket shopping on a daily basis it might be a bit of a stretch of the imagination to realise these issues, but for those working with development issues –squeezed between systematically repressive churches and an ever encroaching and imposing system of extraction, exploitation, and forceful “inclusion” into a cash economy where there is no scope for action, due to a lack of cash for newcomers, and only space for rebellion or urbanisation with extremely low success rates—, these are pretty straightforward issues and not at all, in any possible way, to do with nirvana - if only! If only this was a claim to a utopia, but it isn’t; it is a reaction to dystopia.

Read about the Waorani people’s plight (in the blog) and destruction by the oil industry (a problem they share with many others, notably the Ogoni in the Niger Delta) and the general state of affairs in the Andes and those who depend on the run off of glacial waters on both sides - toward the coast and the Amazon (also in blog) - and you will begin to realise that this is not longing for utopia or an abstract issue of argumentation susceptible to a “nirvana fallacy” (read Graeber’s “Hope in Common” in that context, it might help; is in colonos blog), - this is a desparate flight from an evergrowing dystopia that the people suffering it are all too aware of is caused by the entirely non-empathetic business people - capitalist in short - who continue to take away their land, trees and consequently habitat of animals and spirits that are culturally at he very heart of these peoples’ reality.

There can be no good capitalism - it is a system that depends on massive amounts of unemployed people - the flexible work force - which stand reserve in order to deal with fluctuations (See Michael Perelman’s “The Invention of Capitalism” to discover that these issues were very well known by Adam Smith et al., which lead to the establishment of police forces to deal with the problems that this was inevitably going to cause and which is essentially what anti-capitalists continue to fight against).

It is a system that depends on unemployment at home and excessively cheap labour abroad and “free” (not that free, since armed forces and mercenaries are used in almost all extractive industry hotspots all over the world) access to resources. It is a system that cannot - and that is what we’re witnessing now - sustain itself in an equilibrium, but most always expand, but where to expand when the last tree is cut down and the last river runs dry? Eat money?

And so on, and so on…..</description>

		<description>All said and not done. What we actually need is peace and the ability to hear ourselves out. The wars of religion are functions of economy, politics, inequality, injustice and lack of fair play. The war mongers and their allies would have to prove to us that God created someone(in human body like us, aside from the angels) before creating Adam and Eve. If not anyone that kills his brother or sister knowing for whatever reason would account for his/her soul on the day of judgement as Cain would for killing Abel. PLEASE STOP THE WAR, STOP THE KILLING, STOP PRODUCING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, GOD CREATES, WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING HIS CREATION. LOVE YOUR BROTHERS NO MATTER THE RELIGION, COLOUR, RACE, SEX, STATUS, ETC. WE ARE ALL DESCENDANTS OF ADAM AND EVE.......HOLY BOOKS CONFIRMED THIS</description>

		<description>Greeting from Herat!!

Well, Looking such a professional and powerful writing increase our self confidant and hope as Hazara that God is helping us through some way to overcome to the all problem we face as a nation in Afghanistan. Our voice is not being hered or lack-hered in the history due to not have internal influence (to political power) and  external influence (to international media). 

The dominant Pashtoon with the back-support from pashtoon 
governament still are continuing invading to the hazaras territories and taking people&#039;s life that was continuing from centuries. Their cruelty has been concealed for 100s of years through Kings while now the media allows us to make our voice hered. While still the Geopolitical location of Hazaristan are a barrier of itself that is surrounded by Pashtoons. 

There are tremendous stories of their cruality on Hazaras that the world should know about and that needs profesionals to speak in their language. I appreciate your efforts and wish to see more from you.

To have a network of our pen-holders writing mostly on web in many languages can be much more appreciated that help in synergyzing the efforts. I am seing many hearts beats in the similar patterns and might be able to go on the same track.</description>
