I don't disagree, well, okay I do. I think Capitalism is an indicator of humanity.

I want to be wrong, but the older I get, the more I think people are selfish fuck wits.

There are outliers, but they are not the norm.

Billionaires are scum, capitalism is bad, but I am not sure I see something that wouldn't be exploited by fuck wits

@jonoabroad @aral capitalism is bad, but do we have a viable alternative?
Socialism has tried in few countries. Result: the richness of the ruling class varies, everyone else is poorer than than in capitalism. Ever heard of Aral sea? That's what it does.
Other options?

Did you real what I wrote?

I don't like capitalism, but it's honest, you know who is out to fuck you - everybody.

The other isms broadly "fail" as they have in other countries because people subvert what is meant to happen in a pure implementation of the thing - what we have now isn't capitalism, it's bastardised capitalism where the rich get richer and anyone who isn't ultra wealthy is moving backwards.
