    Capitalist, socialist, communist, it doesn’t matter so much. This is more about greed, the fallibility of man, and insufficient / inadequate controls. Oil companies make enough money that they can buy legal protection; it’s a matter of finding politicians (or people of enough influence) that are willing to suck … for some cash.

      names polar opposite ways of running society, claims there is no difference, enlightened centrism gone mad.

      This is more about greed, the fallibility of man

      encouraged and rewarded by capitalism, not some natural way of existing, like capitalism has convinced you it so you think this shitty way of life is inevitable

      Oil companies make enough money that they can buy legal protection;

      because capitalism is a system that allows and encourages this behaviour

      it’s a matter of finding politicians (or people of enough influence) that are willing to suck … for some cash.

      so continue working within the framework of the system that designed said framework to ensure those in power continue to hold it.

      I really wish you bootlickers would realise how pathetic your grovelling sounds to others, you could do with some shame, but if you were capable of it, you wouldn’t have reached this point in the first place.

      Capitalism literally encourages this greed. It systematizes greed, instead of even attempting to fight it.
