Greetings,

This is a common claim amongst socialists, with special reference to use of the word "sole." If literally true we can, will, and indeed must add it to the already immense corpus of argumentation against capitalism.
However, in the interest of maintaining the full credibility of this corpus, let us agree that we must present the most accurate arguments possible. Thus, without necessarily or a priori disputing the above claim, I think our cause would benefit from the presentation of proof, or at least the citation or quotation of one or more reasonable sources that suggest proof.
This issue is obviously of great interest to myself and others. I thus request that PFANS present such documentation.
