I agree.  If we want to talk about development in realistic terms we are 
talking capitalism.  That is why in practical terms, all the weeping and 
teeth grinding over the concept of capitalism is a waste of time.  We 
should be discussing development, not fixating on how sentimental we feel 
about anti-capitalist rhetoric.  Our adolescent memories of righteous 
indignation with the injustices of the world and the attachment of our 
egos to symbols of bygone Marxist heroes and May Day rallies are pathetic 
excuses for serious analysis of problems of ordinary people who live and 
breathe.
