It's not your thread and you were attacking a respected poster by saying he would be "embarassed by his trite comments".
I know he doesn't need me to defend him, but I defended him anyway. So don't confuse that with an unprovoked attack.

Getting rid of competitve ethics incorparated within dynamics in sport is a necessary step to diminishing the ingrained ethos of capitalist doctrine..........
It's when the producing classes are undermined by it, that it becomes a problem.
So basically you have to make a distinction between economic competetivness and sporting competitivness.

So long as this isn't a factor in the 'pay' of these workers, or the 'price' of what they produce, I don't have a problem with this.

Instead the failed ones were subsidised by the efficient ones to the ultimate virtual destruction of the entire industry.

We're discussing the use of competition once capitalism has gone.
Absolutely nothing to do with the drivel you've just posted.
