#1 Capitalism NEVER collapses. There is always Capitalism whether it is state economy or the black market like in your sorry ass country. It is natural and survival.
It will never, ever, ever end. That is just how it is no matter how naive you or your stupid government is.

In islam, all economy is capitalism. The government is a useless turd and the people work around it, just like they did in Russia. (USSR).

Grow up.

#3 How would Islam replace Capitalism?

How would it pay for the massive welfare benefit fund muslims in UK demand?

#5 Interesting. I think he might be projecting his fear that Iran is on the verge of collapse.

#6 Inflation rate in Iran has risen to 27% this year.

Last Fall the government began heavily restricting imports of wheat and rice, perhaps due to depletion of foreign currency reserves. That must be biting now that foodstocks are dropping world wide and food commodity prices on the international markets are skyrocketing in price.

The additional sanctions on oil and foreign currency are also starting to serious hit home at the same time.

Yup, what the true believers around Ahmadinajed need right now is a little war with the US. Nothing to big, just enough to deflect anger and give a pretext for tight controls on demonstrations etc.

#7 Newc Hello!. I like your writing style. Somewhat pithy but well said. Governments want the control.
They never seem to share power well. Governments should cultivate and season with salt. Instead they poison with root killer.

#8 Dale, you see it in the US. The government is overstepping so the workers are all working "under the table". I see it on a daily basis.

Hence, the government gets less revenues, and everyone is considered a criminal.
