    You can’t really amputate capitalism at this point. Its just not possible short of a really long and bloody war or somehow convincing conservatives it was their idea. You can try to change it from within and eat the rich but it’s core tenants are not going away.

    Capital must be secondary to people, always and forever.

    This I agree with. It’s a tragedy that it even has to be said

      Exactly. People are too wedded to the idea that capitalism “needs protecting” from some boogeyman. Capitalism will probably be better off if we actively oppose it instead of pretending that it’s wise. It’s an evil system BECAUSE it’s similar to evolution. There’s no “invisible hand,” only self interest that ignores externalities and generational consequences.
