Could you just for a moment consider that this might not just be *a* result, but the *inevitable* result of the ability to accumulate unlimited amounts of private wealth?

That ability completely unregulated is evil, yes I agree.

I didn't add a qualifier. I asked you to consider that this might be the inevitable result of the ability to accumulate property, period. You don't have to agree, but wouldn't kill you to admit that there's a *chance* that capitalism is flawed in its core premise.

Lol No but I did! Adam Smith, the main articulator of free market capitalism, said it could not exist outside an ethical context. Without strong unions, protection of worker’s rights & strictly enforced safety & financial regulations, it’s more than “flawed;” it’s oppressive.
