How do you define capitalism?What is the difference between capitalist competition and other kinds of competition?What is wrong with income inequality? What is income inequality, anyway?Why is it a problem that people can't afford things that they're 'taught by society to want.' You mean that they throw tantrums because other people won't give them stuff? Are the rest of us expected to placate people like that? Can you provide a source for this claim?

Those are not responses from deep thinkers. You might reconsider your associations. Have you asked her to explain what she means and provide an example? It could simply be her means of shutting down a conversation that makes her uncomfortable.

Anarchism and capitalism are contradictions if one defines capitalism as system of State-granted privilege for capitalists. However, Austrian economics defines it as as an economic order of production; not a political system. Communism is not against hierarchy; it simply inverts the pyramid.

The problem with that definition is that it could apply to any belief, regardless if the belief is supported by reason and evidence or is simply blind obeisance. If 'faith' is simply any belief then it renders the word meaningless in the context of this discussion. It is usually deliberate equivocation to refer to atheism as 'faith.' Religious people often try to lend credibility to their religion by referring to atheism as a faith or religion in order to place them into the same category. It's like asserting that astrology and astronomy are both science.

Panera Bread Will Replace Cashiers With Robots By 2016 From 2011: McDonald's hires 7,000 touch-screen cashiers What does all of this mean? It means that the State has increased the cost of labor to the point where it has become economical to use machines in lieu of people. Lower taxes. Lower expense from mandatory benefits. Lower HR-related expenses. Less risk of violating labor regulations. Less litigation (fewer lawsuits for discrimination, special accommodations, slip-and-fall, etc.) Fewer protests, union shenanigans.

Harvard plans 'mandatory power and privilege training' for poli-sci students Apparently, State privilege won't be part of the training because the parasites need that.

There are high functioning psychopaths in society who are capable of being productive, and who do not commit malicious acts. I'm unaware of cases in which a person born without empathy commits deliberate, malicious acts because they take pleasure and delight in the pain, suffering, and misery of others. As far as I know, those kinds of people are a product of environment.

Some people can be helped and some cannot. For example, people with malignant, pathological narcissism cannot be helped and should be avoided. People with psychological imbalances (eg. OCD) may attempt to deal with their anxiety by inflicting abuse on others. If they're unwilling to get help then they should also be avoided. You can't allow others ruin your life. The fact that they may be unable to control themselves doesn't obligate you to indulge their abuse.

Referring to atheism as a religion is 1) an attempt to apply the negative stigma of religion to atheism, and to 2) imply that religion and atheism are commensurate positions.

"Gradualism in theory is perpetuity in practice." - William Lloyd Garrison "Cleaving to principle means something more than holding high and not contradicting the ultimate libertarian ideal. It also means striving to achieve that ultimate goal as rapidly as is physically possible. In short, the libertarian must never advocate or prefer a gradual, as opposed to an immediate and rapid, approach to his goal. For by doing so, he undercuts the overriding importance of his own goals and principles. And if he himself values his own goals so lightly, how highly will others value them?" - Murray Rothbard

Walker, the coordination that transpired to make all of that possible was vastly complex. The capitalistic order of production produced prices which facilitated the coordination of resources and the division of labor, making those innovations a reality.
