    I probably get hate for this but I think it’s too easy to blame everything on capitalism. I think the lack of governance of big businesses is what is actually causing issues. The laws allow for exploitation and the infinite accumulation of wealth. Capitalism has to follow the laws…

      Have you considered that there may be a link between Capitalism as a Mode of Production and the continuous strengthening of power in Monopolies over the State?

      How can you not understand that all these things are related and are a direct product of the way capitalist system function.

      The capitalist class largely writes the laws, and they don’t like competition at all.

      Damn, who would have thought that a system where power comes from holding capital, the laws favor those who hold capital.
