Unemployment

In no sense is the current section on unemployment a criticism of capitalism. I'm going to re-write this to explain why unemployment is necessary, in a capitalist system, in order to create downward pressure on wages and benefits, unless someone can provide a reason that I shouldn't.

Deleted pro-capitalist content

I deleted pro-capitalism arguments because this article is called Criticism of capitalism, not Two-sided debate about capitalism.Spylab (talk) 13:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Criticism is the judgement of the merits and faults of the work or actions of one individual by another (the critic). To criticise does not necessarily imply to find fault, but the word is often taken to mean the simple expression of prejudice or disapproval." - wikipedia criticism page 76.66.181.58 (talk) 13:03, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up the style

The style on this page is horrendous, especially in the opening paragraphs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.32.78 (talk) 09:34, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chomsky?

Surely the "types of criticism" section is rather unbalanced. Marxism and religion, two massive, major, global movements with long histories, and then, occupying about the same space, Noam Chomsky, one person who is prominent in the global public sphere but is not exactly original in his criticisms of capitalism.
