"What is Capitalism Day?" The first Sunday of December each year, is "Capitalism Day." In 2001 we celebrated the "Principles and Possibilties of Capitalism." For 2002, our theme is "Capitalism & Human Creativity."
On this day, around the globe, we thank the Producers and Creators - humankind's great benefactors. We extend a hand of friendship and support, praise their achievements, independence of thought, and their courage in following their dreams. And uphold the only political system which makes all this possible.
"What happened last year?"
On Capitalism Day 2001,

Are you ready to Walk the Talk? Yes! Show that you are a positive defender of individual rights, free trade, intellectual and economic liberty. Show that you are opposed to the thug-like ideas and actions of anti-capitalists like M1 and S11.
Their smearing graffiti, chanting slogans, use of violence and intimidation are no substitute for REASON. They have no place in a civilised society.
It's time to stand up for freedom and prosperity. Now! Human creativity and invention, business, profit, production, free trade - both local and global - desperately need your support. Now, more than ever.
Whether you are a poet or a labourer, an entrepreneur or a charity worker, a teacher or a soldier, a scientist or a doctor - declare your support for Capitalism on Sunday, December the 1st, 2002. Join our symbolic rally and festivities in your city.
Declare that only you and you alone own your life. Not the government, not "society". You know it's true. Now let's walk the talk!

"Capitalism is good.
Socialism is bad."
Because capitalism encourages multiple variations on a theme, and rewards the person who comes up with the best variation. The other folks improve upon it, and so on.
The very same argument could be made for states' rights as opposed to federalism. Fifty states are trying different methods of governing, any particular state can learn from the successes/failures of the rest.
