I had envisioned my first post acknowledging the good arguments against capitalism. I.e., I'd try to make the case against capitalism as well as I can, but sticking only to arguments I believe to be valid.If you do this, can you figure out a way to do it in bite-sized chunks over time? If you write some long essay then I'm going to feel like I need to write a long essay in response, which will be a bummer for me and nobody will read it anyway, if I even get around to it. My preference would be for you to write a paragraph or two, then I respond with a paragraph or two, etc. That seems more manageable and fun and it will encourage other people to join.
If you feel like making a case for capitalism under similar constraints, that might be a fun way to begin. Subsequently, I'd make the case for capitalism and you could make the case against.
But that could lead to longish posts.
Alternatively, I could just provide a bare-bones outline of what I think are good and bad arguments for and against capitalism, and anyone who responds can select one or more points to attack or expand on. That seems like it'd fit your request better, and is probably the better way to go now that I think about it.
