    Its not a part of raw capitalism, but capitalism doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and it absolutey is a part of the capitalist system that America has built.

      theres no such thing as “raw capitalism”. the political economic system is either capitalist or not.

        Capitalism can exist with or without safeguards to protect the least powerful among us from the most powerful among us. American capitalism has safefguards. The most powerful among us are knocking down said safeguards to take advantage of the least powerful among us. They are killing American capitalism to replace it with their more dangerous version of capitalism. I.e. american capitalism isn’t dying, its being murdered.

        I’m just repeating myself now. I’m moving on from this. You have a nice day.

          Have you ever considered actually engaging with people?

          clearly not. if a fascist can just come and take them off, they werent safeguards in the first place.

            That’s not how that works tho. Safeguards can fail, they’re not foolproof. That’s like saying this railing on a balcony isn’t a safeguard to protect people from falling because that guy just came at it and knocked it down with a sledgehammer.

              if it was Obama (still not a leftist but treated as such), would they have let him get away with rape like trump did? would he get away with an attempted coup? or with all the lies trump says constantly without effective scrutiny from institutions?
