There are those who oppose capitalism and globalization. At the recent G8 meeting, some of those protesters decided to cause trouble.
What I cannot understand is, if they are so against capitalism, what is the alternative?

as someone who has embraced communist philosophy i am opposed to capitalism and the way it screws people over. however, i am also a realist and realise labour is the closest we will get to a socialist government and also that helping Africa is not an example of capitalist oppression but quite the opposite:- a real stride for equality. those who rioted were just looking for an excuse to cause trouble like football hooligans, and do not represent any political idea except anarchy.
The only problem I have with communism is their opposition to private wealth and property ownership. This is a no no for me.
I think capitalism, if injected with social responsibility, will provide a lot of answers to current problems.
There’s more to communism than the abolition of private property, at least in the Marxist sense of the word. It carries with it a completely radical outlook on life, a materialist philosophy that reduces the vastness of this world into an “economic” one and the history of the world into a history of class struggle plain and simple.
As a believer of free will I think the problem with communism is not in its opposition to private property. It is itself the problem.
