[edit] Capitalist Money Madness

It may well describe a real phenomenon, but this is a neologism. Cdc 00:29, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is a very real phenomena that requires a phrase to encapsulate it and facilitate discussion etc. Because it is disparaging of capitalism, there will obviously be supporters of this socio-economic system that do not wish to have such a critically descriptive phrase in existence, and will therefore want it deleted. For an example of Capitalist Money Madness being used and discussed, see the talk forums of the Guardian newspaper http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?13@73.jmPzaPcVplW^0@.461 -- Anonymous post by 195.92.67.67
  • Delete. Google only shows about 17 instances of this, all at www.blackchat.co.uk, and Wikipedia already has articles which contain criticisms of capitalism (or it should). Even if the world "requires a phrase to encapsulate it and facilitate discussion", it's not an encyclopedia's job to spread usage of a phrase just because it would help to facilitate discussion. Or at least, it's not Wikipedia's job to do such. -- Khym Chanur 07:18, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Reads like a bit of promotion for the next Michael Moore project.  :-) Although I happen to like Moore (and The Guardian, for that matter), I agree this has no real place on WP. Edeans 16:59, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. The myriad examples of suffering, deprivation, disaster, chaos, violence, death and destruction due to capitalism's pursuit of profits, savings and cost cutting does indeed need a brief phrase to describe and sum this all up, and Capitalist Money Madness does just that. mlh2390 There is no user mlh2390; this message was by anonymous user 195.92.67.66; this IP is very similar to the IP for the only other "Keep" vote
