    It’s a dream. Capitalism would be great and completely valid without some greedy fuckers trying to get everything for themselves. Communism would work without some greedy fuckers trying to get everything for themselves. Anarchism would work without… You get the jist.

    Our problem is not politics, it’s the human nature. No matter how many loving hippies there are, there are always going to be some people who try to exploit everything for their own good

      I’m cynical (or old) enough to agree with this sentiment to a point, but capitalism has greed built in, it’s a feature not a flaw.

        It inherently incentivizes greed, it’s not built in per se. As are all traits of the dark triad. This is what makes capitalism the worst choice and really sad. It brings out the worst in us. And those who are better have no chance.
