The only way for capitalism to survive is if more people who are capitalists access their conscience, and more people with conscience get access to capital. #repairamerica

We're not going to change human nature but we can change market incentives. You're right about giving people access to capital. Capitalism needs consumers with money to consume in a free market. But we don't have a free market and we have less money every day. #UBI can fix it 👇

Survival of the fittest prevents that. Capitalists with values other than profit will never compete in the long run. So all capitalists are sociopaths.

Capitalism is anathema to conscience. "The love of money is the root of all evil." Capitalism prioritizes the empty pursuit of money and rewards vanity and soullessness. It treats introspection, personal growth and empathy as the playthings of paupers.

Even in best case scenario places, capitalism isn't functioning all that well. Perhaps we are waiting for whatever the next phase is in economic development?

The problem isn't capitalism; it's corporatism. When everything is done mainly for shareholders to make money, that's when things get ugly.

Capitalism is predatory. My boss thinks he’s better than everyone else and he deserves to be rich. So basically, everyone else deserves to be poor. My employer is evil

The only way America , a capitalist country, is going to survive & thrive, is to let America restart their own lives, making decisions for themselves, free to “soar” to the heavens. No one need a communist dictator to tell us what NOT to do.

Nope. During the 1950s we had far more regulation and a far more abundant economy for the middle class.
