I can't really relate stuff like this to capitalism:
"it's about means of control, compensation for labor and power against privatization, it isn't about the poor not getting rich it's about the rich using various means of oppression and violence to keep things in their favor"
this can basically be said about any political or economic system that has ever been and has ever been imagined. like way way back to pre-sapiens time really. doesn't matter what theory system you apply.
corruption is inherent in the human condition. doesn't mean it can't be adressed in a systematic way, but definitely not by calling it a name ("capitalism", "the devil"). shit's more complex than that.

- it inherently can't be faulted for anything unlike other systems. It is a system of freedom where everyone gets to decide the value.deathboy
