I have nothing against capitalism: what we seem to have nowadays is Corruptism.
Corruptism is the collecting of wealth no matter who or what.
Need another dollar? Bribe a politician to make the laws favour corporations over people.
Need ANOTHER dollar? Cut wages and hours.
Need ANOTHER dollar? Layoffs.
It use to be that employers made, what, 400X what their employees made? Now an employee has to work 2-3 jobs just to live while the 'boss' feeds the pork to make ONE MORE DOLLAR!
A little more kindness would see us in a better world.
I'd like to see politicians start thinking of the people who voted for them.
Lets get back to basic Capitalism: Corruptism is not working.

The problem underlying all of this, and at a level lower than "muh capitalism!" or "muh communism!" is simply this: power goes to power, wealth goes to wealth, privilege goes to privilege, and it's positive-feedback loop. That is, the more of these you have in one place, the stronger its notional "gravity" and the wider its reach and faster its accumulation of more.
This is what Mr. Vim and others of his kind fail to understand. Perhaps deliberately.
