I’m not anti-capitalist; I think the most enlightened society has aspects of capitalism & socialism. But we’ve drifted into a virulent strain of capitalism, with no ethical or moral responsibility to people or planet. It will correct that, or a generation will storm the Bastille.

Set a universal standard of living, for everyone, globally (slaves making people's Nike's and iPhones) and make sure the planet will survive our existing on it. After that, a little work to get nice things is good.

Then you don't know what Capitalism is and what it has done to the world. It is a losing proposition that has no merit, value, or morals. Capitalism must end.

You can't take elements of vastly opposed political systems. Either the proletariat have control over their lives or they don't.

With respect, I think you're wrong. Capitalism has always been like this. The FDR and then Post-WW2 era was blip (1935-1980), which has been rapidly eroded since Reagan, sped up by computerization, tax shelters & more recently COVID giveaways to companies.

This is why Bernie was my top choice, but voted for Biden because we need to remove tRump.

Capitalism kills 20million a year. It is these deaths that you are defending by being a capitalist.

Capitalism is zero sum. It bleeds benevolence dry.
