The anti-capitalism sentiment is interesting. While the issues with it are obvious to everyone, the solution is not. Atleast not to me. If you just end capitalism, it's going to be miserable for everyone. You need to replace it with something better. People however don't seem to think it this far, or if they do, then for some reason they don't want to discuss that, and get angry for even asking. Just having a vague idea is not good enough. This isn't the kind of stuff you figure out on the go.
Even now, I'll probably just get downvoted and labeled a right wing capitalist, because that's easier than answering the actual question.
It's strange to me that Capitalism, as described by Adam Smith (but labelled such by Marx), is supposed to serve the common good, and included gov't intervention in markets. I'm OK with that idea. I lean way more left of that, but if Capitalists here and elsewhere didn't bend over to defend gross wealth inequality, cry about helping society as a whole, and actually studied differences in economic theories and practice I wouldn't think most of them are assholes.
Based as well :)
You got two Niko points! 1: I agree with you! 2: You are acting civilized, different from most of our brothers :D
