Greed is a pejorative by definition. I don't think it should be called a good thing. Although I am greedy for some things, catching fish, eating peanut butter, etc...

But it exists in man whether or not it is in a capitalist, or "distributist" system (beer distributors?) whatever the hell that is? As greed exists in man, so does "inequality." And it always will. "Equality" cannot be socially engineered.

The only desirable form of government, which can be enforced by a system of laws created by man is Individual Freedom that allows one to pursue their own life and make of it what they will. People who think it is their place in life to try and impose their ideas about "equality" on society and by extension other of their fellow citizens, individuals, by force, really only muck up other people's ability to live freely. And it is that driving need to impose their will on others that is so alarming and myopic.

Utopia is not possible. Also by definition.

Just to be clear: I was completely being sarcastic.

What we have today is not capitalism. We need to fix that by reducing government burden and distortion in the system.
