Stephen Stills, despite obvious musical talent, is a brawling, violent military brat with very little political understanding. &quot;Mostly say hooray for our side,&quot; pretty well sums up the depth of his grasp. He was a wife-beater as well, according to his former consort, French singer Veronique Sanson. There&#039;s a telling scene in a concert film from the late 1960s where he and his band are playing at Big Sur in cold weather. He is on stage wearing a beautiful white fur coat, and at one point a fan in the front row calls him out on it, saying, &quot;Here we are in the audience freezing our asses off, while you prance onstage in your pretty white coat.&quot; It was, admittedly, a stupid thing to say, but what was ol&#039; Steve&#039;s reaction to the taunt? He immediately went ballistic and wanted to &quot;fight&quot; the fan, until cooler heads prevailed and talked him out of it... CSNY was a band of three gifted assholes (CSY) and one nice but much less talented guy (Nash).]]></description>

The whole point of an -ism is to capture political ground. Capital succeeds at this wherever politics is careless enough to authorize a power. Capital left to itself stays small because free markets continually challenge any monopoly. Capital-ISM grows without bounds as soon as government institutes legal monopolies, legal thefts, or subsidized warfare. A capitalist and his system can be easily contained by privatizing the courts and law and disenfranchising all forms of collective political action; left in the &#039;public sphere&#039; those things form the economic and coercive resources that amoral capital excels at exploiting.Don&#039;t tempt them! And never naively think mankind&#039;s better angels will forever rein in a deadly power you believe you could delegate to the government.]]></description>
