Hello join me and I will change the world. I will put an end to the corrupt times we are living in and establish a world full of respect tradition loyalty and honour by promoting feudalism. Let's stop worshipping money it is only paper that means nothing except misery we have made life to complicated for ourselves we don't need money to live, our only needs are food shelter clothes water and air. air and water is free and that leaves food shelter and clothes and in a barter system we can live a life of simplicity and happiness. do things for your neighbours in exchange for your own needs and it creates a win win system instead of a system of haves and have nots!!!!

screw fudalism.
the worlds gone bad.
i say we go anarchy, the chaotic styled one.
whatever style of government emerges from the chaos is obviously best.
if none emerge, humankind is obviously too weak to survive and needs termination.
Nothing freer than a society where a small number of nobles, craftsmen, and merchants live in luxury while everyone else lives in poverty scratching out a hard life on land they do not own and will likely never own. Even better, there's no education, no social freedoms, and little economic opportunity.
Even the most inequal capitalist society is still better than feudalism...

It's never too late people can now see the big problems that capitalism produce, major environmental damage, large scale wars, overpopulation, immigration, exploitation, major health problems through stress and the environment, substance abuse, crime...etc. Alot of work would be required to change the infrastructures but it can be done. And besides there are dangers ahead of us for capitalism such as diminishing oil supplies, international terror...etc.
You can live simply. I'd rather live with a computer, big screen HD TV, surround sound stereo system, cell phones, Mercedes, etc., etc. We should be able to get these things if we want then become serfs. I'm certainly not going to give up everything and depend on the possible generosity of a lord. Or let the privleged few live in luxury while the rest work their asses off for their "simple" life.

Who is the Lords in capitalism? It's the weasely businessmen who don't care about anything but themselves who think they are better than you because they have more money. And the rest struggle endlessly to work their way up an unscalable ladder

At least in capitalism you can have a chance.
Provided your white, middle class, not disabled, have a rich father and Male.

Couldn't have put it better myself. It's not about having a chance its about forgetting about competing against your neighbours its about living your life and being happy its about people being equal not different

It's obvious these posters are all peasants.
As a descendant of an ex-Hungarian noble family (when I say ex, I mean we lost our power during the nazi occupation) I shall happily aid the OP in establishing the TRUE form of government.
If there is one thing democracy has proven to me is that people cannot be trusted to make the right choice. Thus, we go back to certain families officially holding all the power and eliminate the delusions of freedom presented to us by capitalism and democracy.
I'll pass, thanks.
Even capitalism is preferable to feudalism.
The only problem with Capitolism is it is not done by a cheese standard.

Sucide is not repentance!
The book has a worse reputation than it probably deserves. It's first and foremost a motivational tome (http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2002-09-23-ayn-rand_x.htm).
It taught me to value myself properly. It also was a take on capitalism I hadn't been exposed to before, but one that made a lot of sense, at least in the idealistic, romantic realm in which Rand operates.
But seriously, I have never met anyone who read this book and still called businesspeople weasely. Even if it doesn't change views completely, at least it can correct them somewhat.
