Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

That's an invalid analogy, or at a very minimum it requires explanation.
I think the only point we can get rid of capitalism, is when there is no shortages of anything for anyone.
Until then it needs to be regulated, and dreams and claims of just removing it are counterproductive, because we simply can't at this point in time.
Capitalism also isn't the problem, lack of regulation and allowing the 1% to control everything is.
Scandinavian countries are free market capitalist countries, and although they aren't perfect either, they are better for the general population than the American 2 party system.
How you run your democracy is crucial, democracy is supposed to control society, not the 1%.
You are conflating capitalism and markets. As much as capitalists would like for everyone to believe they are one and the same, they are completely distinct from one another.
That's just a load of hoola boola.
Per definition capitalism and free markets are tied.
Soviet Russia also used money for their planned economy, but it was not free markets, and hence not considered a capitalist country by any normal definition of the word.
You are conflating rhetoric with an actual argument. And you are dismissing a normal definition without providing an alternative.
So what is capitalism pray tell?
You have the right ideas in some ways but their execution in your head is lacking.
Read a little bit about the subject and you might understand what people are talking about. Maybe start with Rosa Luxemburg. She writes about reforming capitalism or tearing it all down and creating something new.
Good luck and remember we only limit ourselves with our thoughts.
Exactly my point, with the options we have now, reform is the way forward, not replace.
She concluded that tearing it all down is the only way.
