    Blaming capitalism is like sharks for shark attacks. Companies exist to maximize profit, subject to their constraints imposed by the government. So blame the party that controls your government.

      Europe is capitalistic and this post doesnt apply here. The major problem with capitalism is that all the other systems we humans tried so far suck more.

        Stop with this capitalist realism nonsense.

        The problem with capitalism is that it only benefits a small ruling elite who claim private ownership over the means of production to the point it oppressed all other systems, regardless of if they were better or worse for society as a whole.

          Yeah, that doesnt happen in any other system…

          I will stop this discussion until you educate yourself.

            Didn’t say it didn’t happen in other systems. I’m saying the assumption that capitalism is the best system just because it’s the one we currently have is simple minded and self fulfilling logic.

            I suggest you do stop this discussion to educate yourself if this wasn’t readily evident for you.
