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.

What can we do to prevent overthrow via violent revolution if every person with power to change things doesn’t acknowledge there’s a problem? We can’t have an honest conversation because of the absolute corruption of our capitalist system.

A lot of people in government acknowledge there’s a problem, but until we get the money out of politics then it will be difficult to get those kinds of politicians the power they need to change it. And an effort at “violent overthrow” will achieve nothing but violent repression.

So you are not anti-capitalist but you want to get “money out of politics?” Again, incredibly naive. Capitalist politics is inseparable from ungodly sums of dirty money because both parties protect the wealthiest of private interests, who in turn grease their wheels.

You were and still are a fraud.

How can we get “the money out of politics” when many of our elected officials are doing everything they can to unjustly line their own pockets at the expense of our country?
