Louis Kelso wrote in the original Capitalist Manifesto that, “ In addition to the general sense of well-being that we all share and attribute to our form of capitalism, we are united in our feeling about socialism. As a people, we dislike it and rule it out as an acceptable alternative to capitalism.” However, many pundits and social commentators have claimed that the principals set forth by both the Democratic and Republican Parties do, in fact, represent certain elements of socialist doctrine. It is only the advent of our modern technological infrastructure that makes an alternative system a viable reality.
Today, thanks to technology, the means of production are accessible to all Americans. This reality, the ability of all to engage in economic pursuits has presented us with transformative opportunities available at no other time in our history.
The result is that at this point the accessibility of economic freedom is on par with the accessibility of political freedom. All that is required is the knowledge and opportunity to apply human willpower to the methods of achieving economic success.
Whereas, both the Democratic and Republican parties attempt to lead our society down the path to more and more social or political freedom, there is an alternative to deliver the desired end result. An ideal democracy. That alternative is a way and means of achieving economic freedom as the result of common action and shared goals. This alternative is what we seek in the formation of the Capitalist Party.
