It is sometimes painful to attempt discussion with an ideologue because of the old saw, "when a wise man argues with a fool, it becomes difficult(for the bystander)to tell which is which."

With that caveat in mind, let me say you are partly right. The problem comes when you express part of a concept correctly and then slam the door shut. Every time you discuss economics you do this.

Not wanting to get into your false data on marxism and where it has been applied, I will let that go for now.

However, I would like to suggest a reading of David Ricardo on economics to aid your understanding.

There is no rational dispute on the benefits of capital investment in the means of production. But please be advised this is only one element in said production.

There is a "principle of balance" that you skate over as ice on a pond. When you build your "Field of Dreams" they may come, but without the means to buy a ticket the tourists just can't come in.

PLEASE--PLEASE try and look beyond the sloganering. It really tends to be beneath you when you address serious subjects.
