Capitalism is freedom. The freedom to invest, to take risks, to profit handsomely if you create something people want at a price they are willing to pay, for a low enough cost to society. Much better to have entrepreneurs directing investment than to send all your money to Washington DC for politicians to blow it.

relative riches/poverty?

a major part of that freedom is the ability to steal and privatize public resources with the backing of an armed police and military when you pay back some of your profits to support the military industrial complex. this system hurts people and the environment in places few see or care about and builds monuments to its crimes.

Then it ain't capitalism, it's corporatism/rent seeking etc.

Capitalism is the only system that allows everyone to thrive, if you're a lazy dumbass life will be tough...

What a lot of the foolish members here are against is "Crony capitalism".
