Capitalism is a moral/social system as well as an economic system based on the philosophical premise that every man and woman has the exclusive right to his or her own life and property. Implementing capitalism always yields by nature a benevolent society in which individuals deal with one another on the basis of values -- the voluntary exchange of values. Force and coercion are obviated. Capitalism is consistent with man's rational needs and requirements for prosperity and happiness.
Altruism is a morality based on the philosophical premise that man lives for the sake of others...that man's life and property are available for sacrifice to "higher" causes, e.g., the common good, society, the needy, the world, the dictator, God, country, politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers. Implementing altruism always yields by nature a malevolent society in which individuals deal with one another on terms of who will be sacrificed to whom, who will support whom. Force becomes the deciding factor. Fake jobs and bogus livelihoods grow like cancer. ...Altruism is contrary to man's nature, rational needs, and requirements for happiness.
Before applying the concepts of capitalism and altruism to Du Pont and its common-stock price, those concepts must first be viewed from the broader perspective of contemporary Western culture:
Capitalism has lifted man's standard of living to undreamt heights. As will be demonstrated in this document, all long-term benefits to man's life, well being, and happiness have grown from competitive capitalistic principles.
Yet today, a growing number of altruistic businessmen are undermining capitalism. How?
Man is capable of achieving genuine prosperity and happiness only to the extent that he can produce competitive values for others and society through the rational, wide-integration use of his mind and constant, hard-work effort. That fact is based on the nature of man. Man must competitively produce for others to honestly meet both his physical and emotional needs.
Hidden beneath the words of all altruists are calls for sacrifice, "temporary" hardship, and periods of readjustment. Those calls for sacrifice are incongruously combined with promises that man can attain values without earning them. All altruists seek an unreal world based on feelings and wishful thinking...a mystical world free of demands for rational integrated thinking and competitive hard efforts. A mystical world that always moves away from the problem-solving nature of life. Indeed all mystics seek the goal of effortless, "peaceful" nirvana -- a problem-free utopia. In their utopia, man can defy reality...man can usurp values without earning them...man can consume without producing...man can live effortlessly without solving problems. Reality, however, cannot be defied. Someone has to produce values and solve problems in order for human beings and society to survive and prosper. Thus, to survive and prosper, altruists and other value destroyers must deceive and coerce the value producers into sacrificing their time, efforts, property, and earnings to the value destroyers.
The altruists' final goal is to coerce or force all value producers to support and respect them, the value destroyers. The motive and ability to produce competitively and in abundance for others vanish when the producer becomes controlled by the nonproducers. Who would be responsible for such an evil, for such an unjust scourge to fall upon our civilization? Ironically, the political leaders, religious leaders, freeloaders, collectivists, and other value destroyers would not be primarily responsible. Those responsible will be the altruistic neocheaters posing as business "leaders". Such uncompetitive business quislings are today implanted throughout business and industry worldwide.
