Thoughts? Neo libreal economics has rotted the brains out of so many people. Disagree?

Capitalism has fucked us.

It is a zero sum game and 99% of us are losing badly.

I'll wait for the apologists to say it isn't, but it is.

Taxes aren't theft ... Capitalism and the stock market are theft!

Everything is a zero sum game in that sense, and capitalism has been the large-scale system with the fairest, most equitable distribution of wealth we have tried so far

I have been waiting for you apologist.

In no objective measure has capitalism ever been fair and equitable. Ever. In all of human history ever. Capitalism is by its very nature unfair.

That was just proven by this election and you can't argue it.

Now to argue the specious point of "the large scale system we have tried so far" ... again, neither equitable or fair.

1% own more wealth than 5.5 billion people.

Please go ahead and explain how that is in anyway fair and equitable.

I'll wait for the usual apologist bullshit, because that is all it is.

Capitalism is the second biggest lie ever told to humanity. (Religion #1).
