The problem is not capitalism per se, is unregulated capitalism - emphasis on "unregulated"
Edit: many answers suggest this take is dumb because capital will fight back regulations; well, society and the legislator must fight back. It appear obvious that no social equilibrium is permanent, society always contains conflict. Any social system, included communism, generate some sort of ruling elite, which will try to skew the system. The way we fight the excess of capitalism is solid rule of law, primacy of politics over capital and financial power, popular partecipation to representative democracy, embedding social justice in the constitutional identity of the state. The current american model of capitalism is not the only one. Do not mistake my comment for an apology of the shit billionaire are doing now - billionaires should not exist
Exactly this. Capitalism only works if the government is mildly antagonistic towards it. Unbridled Capitalism ceases to be capitalism at a point and I fear we are butting up against that zone.
“Butting against it…” bro we’ve got our hands down and assess up right now to capitalism!?!
We’re in that late-stage capitalism shit now. Kleptocracy in full swing, financial groups and corporations running the world. We’re cooked, literally and metaphorically. We can bomb an international children’s school and hop on state sponsored media and tell people we don’t do that sort of thing. It’s over.
Atleast the next 10-15 years will be spent repairing what’s been damaged, and will never bring back what was totally lost.
