    calling capitalism a scam is moot, the other viable alternative, socialism is even worse.

    also, no country on planet earth is pure-capitalism, not even in US. Northern European countries have proven that market economy with the right taxation policies can effectively distribute income. I wished more wokeist knew about this or at least bothered to do a bit of research.

      You’re mixing socialism and communism. Going from here, you see more than two options what make it a non-binary issue.

      Communism itself has multiple variations. What we saw until today with fever exceptions wasn’t communism either. It was dictatorship using communism. At the beginning, they may believe in the ideology but once in power, they took another path.

        The issue here is the lack of regulation. Regulations work. What doesn’t work and is a scam is “the free market will autoregulate”.
