“Everything you state as a downside of “Capitalism” isn’t the fault of Capitalism, but of those seeking to subvert it.”

Thought-provoking.

You almost hit the nail on the head. So close!

All large scale corruption that seems to be due to capitalism is indeed due to subversion [as you say], but petty corruption is in all forms of government.

Private sector ponzi schemes can be pretty large scale though [though not as dangerous as government ponzi schemes].

Tricky, but generally speaking, we are right.

Sounds like a god excuse to have as small a government as possible. It'd be a lot easier to keep an eye on.

You know, like a Republic with Democratically elected representation that is limited by some form of written codex or constitution. Maybe tack on a list of basic Rights that that Countries citizens could use as a protected "starter set" of privileges and immunities.

If only we knew of a Country that still ran under such a system...
