      I like to blame capitalism for everything, too, but this has nothing to do with capitalism. Just the US Democracy not being a Democracy

        Ah yes the world richest man and a billionaire president have no financial motives for overthrowing the US gov. Definitely not the fault of the greedy capitalist system

          Yes, but a functioning democratic system does not allow that.

          Any power tripping person could overthrow a country for different reasons (like Hitler for example)

            Capitalism encourages the break down of the democratic system.

                No, just capitalism is correct. Unbridled or not, the profit incentive and private ownership over the means of production, both of which are intrinsic to a capitalist economic structure, still exist and contribute to systemic oppression.

                Thats because the US toppled every Democratic attempt at communism and socialism with staged coups and assassinations.

                  Yes, the US is clearly to blame for the Stasi.

        The richest people being the oligarchs has nothing to do with capitalism?

        Capitalism worsens the principal agent problem of representative democracy because it’s trivial to bribe representatives, especially now.
