On capitalism – question 
I think the system we have now (in the US) is not good. With y'all on that.
But I don't think capitalism itself is inherently bad. Sure, other things may work better – but Capitalism™ is not the Root of All Evil. (:
...I think I lean toward socialism, myself, although that isn't incompatible with capitalism, right?
When people here talk about capitalism, are they really talking about the capitalism-without-restraint we seem to have now?
re: On capitalism – question :at_ok:
@IceWolf When people refer to capitalism, what they're generally referring to is the system that basically revolves entirely around the generation of ever-increasing profit, with all other goals secondary and serving in the end, in some manner or another, to accomplish that primary goal of infinite profit generation.
Markets aren't inherently bad, no; they're perfectly fine in many places in fact and have existed long, long before capitalism became a thing, it's just that capitalism extends them into places where no person should ever want them (i.e. in providing goods and services necessary for people to live).
