Problem with capitalism ?

Is there a problem in capitalism just like in communism? Is it good just on paper?

here are some arguments:

*Americans are free to buy whatever they want, but don't you think if they pass laws to sell in America only what is manufactured in America will lead other countries to believe it is an economic feud and they will react in the same manner. Some or most countries do not have all the natural resources or expertise on a lot of things, will this start wars to acquire natural resources?
If you buy only American products, others will react with the same manner making exporting of American products go down hill.

*America is based on capitalism which means making maximum profit and FREE market, exactly what corporations are doing. Now people are upset they are jobless. Flaw in the system?

any one finds it funny that nationality is the only form of racism/segregation allowed?
If you are black, white , green, tall, short, male,female, Jew, atheist, disabled you can sue any one for treating you any different. But if you are from a certain nationality you can have different rights. Like I hear Americans can enter some countries with no Visa, but I have to create a Visa! In some places like EU, you can go in the EU section of the airport which I assume is faster. If you are American you can work here, if you are not you are not aloud . WTF! To me that is segregation really(I am not complaining I too go into countries Visa less and get benefits just based on my nationality)

I understand why such things happen, but it is not different than saying "This is a Christian territory , if you want to work here and you are a Jew you have to get special permission and pay more."
Just substitute "Christian" for "British" and "Jew" for "Chinese" you will see it is really the same.
So why segregation based on nationality is accepted but not based on anything else!?

What does that link have to do with capitalism?

I'll just say this. Capitalism as it appears in theory has never existed in practice; just like Communism.

"but don't you think if they pass laws to sell in America only what is manufactured in America"

When has that ever been suggested?

about the last part of your post, it had to do with diplomatic agreements. It's not resist, it's the uselessness of one countries politicians

free trade is a wonderful thing that said I try to buy american when I can and when it makes sense to. The ipod is a good choice if not the best because at least unlike much of its competition it is designed in america at least and by an american company capitalism has flaws everything does nothing is perfect the arguement is whether it is the best we can do (I believe so)

I try to buy American when ever I can simply because then I know most likely it was not made in a sweat shop.

Sweat shops provide jobs.

Capitalism is the one economic system that most greatly rewards those who are willing to work hard. I think that it's the best because anyone can succeed or fail based on their own input into the system. Communism doesn't work because there's no need to put effort into what you're doing because you'll be paid consistently regardless of your input. I don't like socialism because while the government provides many services for you, if you're wealthy you're paying for other people's life insurance.

While capitalism isn't perfect (nothing is), it's definitely my favorite.

But as with any economy, system etc. It has problems. There is no perfect system. Well, actually, most systems are, its just that there are no perfect people to make the perfect systems work perfectly.

On paper comunism, socialism, and capitalism work. The problem is that there are humans involved. If we were all perfectly designed robots though...
