Capitalism Saves! | Godfather Politics.

We all remember the horrible ordeal of 33 mindrs in Chile who narrowly escaped disaster when their mine collapsed last fall. As we all knew, a movie is in the works. There is a lesson here for the critics of capitalism.

Of course, leftists will argue that there wouldn’t have been any need for mines if we were all communists, since the miners would never have been trapped deep in the earth in the first place. It was greedy capitalists that opened the mine. These anti-capitalists probably sent their anti-capitalist message to their commie comrades on smart phones developed by other capitalist companies that use copper from the Chilean mine.[1]

The same type of anti-capitalist hypocrisy is found on college and university campuses. Students protest against capitalism and promote socialism and Marxism never thinking that it’s capitalism that makes these institutions of higher learning possible. And when they graduate, they make a bee-line to job fairs to seek employment by the same companies that their anti-capitalist professors railed against, the same professors who are dependent on capitalism for their jobs. Jerry Rubin (1938–1994) was a social activist from the 1960s. His visit to Cuba was said to be “inspirational.” When he was finished corrupting the minds of young people for a decade or more, Rubin became an entrepreneur and businessman. He was an early investor in Apple Computer. Rubin finally figured it out: “wealth creation is the real American revolution—what we need is an infusion of capital into the depressed areas of our country.”

I didn’t see Hugo Chavez involved in the rescue. Fidel wasn’t there, either. The drills and rigging came from the United States. “The drilling rig that blasted through more than 2,000 feet of rock was made by Schramm Inc. of West Chester, Pa., near Philadelphia, and the drilling bits came from Center Rock Inc. of Berlin, Pa., 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.” Fortunately the Chilean mine disaster happened before liberals destroy our economy and there won’t be any need for drilling equipment because we’ll all be forging for our food and building our hopes out of sod and stone.

The rescue was more than drilling a hole in the ground and building a capsule to extract the men safely. The men were still thousands of feet underground encapsulated in a rock hewn opening that in another era would have served as their burial chamber. Consider these capitalistic innovations reported in the Wall Street Journal that went into the rescue:
