Am I not really a Capitalist?

I have a reoccurring thought...and I debate it with myself. I haven't gotten very far, but that might be because of the fundamental nature of it...or maybe I am just barking down the wrong tree. :-)

We Human Beings do live in a finite world. A finite world in which limitations are inherent. Our philosophies thus have limitations in them as well, maybe not expressed, but in the application of them absolutely. For instance, Capitalism is a fundamentally flawed theory that is impossible to apply to our world. One of the basic tenets of Capitalism is the free flow of perfect information. Since we humans don't have the ability to communicate knowledge instantly and perfectly to our peers we hit a wall. That limitation of knowledge becomes one of the basic tenets of our economy now a days - that is that knowledge is power. A limitation of knowledge allows certain things to occur - monopolies for one and don't allow certain other things to occur as well and widely as they could - for instance the ability for small start up to fill in the weaknesses leftover by large slow moving corporations. Instead the accumulation of knowledge and power and politics within the large groups allows for them to become self fulfilling prophecies of policy.

Now I also think that as we approach pure Capitalism we will shed a lot of things in society...the corporation for one. Why would you need a large bureaucratic body running your company if all know most everything that they need in their home? As our technology advances and we turn into little factories all our own we will become more and more independent. At some point we will no longer need the societal support to produce...course in this happy go lucky world we have learned how to break down socks into their base atoms and reconstruct them into microprocessors.

John Galt is my hero. I believe in the long term...I guess I am a Capitalist. I just don't believe I have ever seen Capitalism, sort of like I have never seen a ghost.
