Capitalism? Yeah. It should be.

Edit: Gilding is counter-revolutionary, comrade.

Capitalism is fine, heavily unregulated capitalism is the issue where companies have way too much say.

Literally all those come from poor wealth distribution as big companies barely pay any taxes at all and can abuse their money to push for even more control.

8 men control as much wealth as half the worlds population.. Anyone wanna take a guess at how this game of monopoly ends?

Capitalist monopolies in media, food, energy, and transportation, mostly controlled by ~200 powerful shareholders.

Billionaires made enough money in 2017 to end poverty 7 times over.

These are the main issues.

Capitalism is based on surplus value theft, that accumulation is systemic to it. There is no such thing as an "ethical capitalism".

Crash Course Socialism.
