ONCE AGAIN, "Capitalism" IS NOT A FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
People can be greedy and use money to create monopolies of power. GADDAFFI was a billionaire. Wealth or the ability to gain wealth does not insure that those who become wealthy will have the interest of others in mind. You stupidly assume that people who get wealthy cant do bad things with their wealth. ALL POWER, be it political or religious or BUSINESS takes money to maintain that power. So business has just as much capability of becoming abusive.
I am for private business ownership and wealth can do good things, but you stupidly assume that rich people cant be abusive themselves when I gave you an example of a rich person who used his wealth to create a monopoly of power.
Stop watching Fucks News.
Okay, well we can disagree on that, and have conversations about it. But were I draw the line is when you start pointing guns at people.
Name me one government that does not aim guns at people? I want cops and I want military. You don't? That is called anarchy and is as bad as fascism.
Monopolies of power is the issue. Not the fact that governments exist.
