it has been cannibalized so bad that it is no better than other systems. The elite have taken over, and they are not nice people. Of course, you cannot just blame them for it's destruction, we have to take responsibility too.
Why you ask? Well, the system, in harmony with democratic governance, could be the true heaven on earth. Where individuals are given the freedom to completely control the outcomes of their own lives, with little government intervention. The opportunities are unlimited, and the ability to become free from debt and stress are attainable by anyone.
However, the system has evolved to the point that only a few control all the major industries, and have the power to protect their greed. It of course starts with the financial and banking systems. They have impoverished the general population to the point of no return. Because the dollar is the basis of daily life, those that control the money have complete power - and that is apparently the ONLY guiding light of capitalism in today's world.
Add this to the corporate world, we now have corporations who's only goal is to make more and more money, that they have absolutely no consideration for the environment or it's citizens. Money is power, and they hold all the power. They buy governments, they eliminate those in opposition to their goals (which sometimes ultimately means not only financial elimination, but physical).
But how did they get to their powerful positions? All by themselves? No, people allowed them to continue with their destruction of capitalism, through either pacifism or blatant acceptance. The morals of society have deteriorated in so many people that these devils are able to tempt them with bribes and false promises. It almost seems hopeless for those of us that haven't been bought and thrown aside our morals for a slightly better life.
But we still have the power. We can say 'NO' to products produced by inhuman corporations. If Nestle is stealing our water and then selling it to countries without clean drinking water, then stop buying Nestle products. If auto manufacturers are only producing transportation built on the oil system, drive less or not at all. If you can't afford an item, don't buy it on credit and pay insanely high interest rates. Or do like I do, use the credit card for my own advantage, like air miles or money back, then pay your bill off entirely each month.
People have the power to stop this raping of the earth and it's citizens. But only if people have developed an internal moral compass within themselves. The rich cannot get richer if we don't support them. We still have the ability to change the world we live in, as long as we are not internally corrupt like they are.
But what about throwing out this system and replacing it with something better? You know, like Communism, Socialism, Marxism, or even a dictatorship.
Let's see - Communism. Every person is told what they would be best at doing for work. You don't get to decide freely. Then you work day in and day out, and receive only enough to put a meager roof over your head and put bread on the table. Of course the leaders in a Communist society are exactly like the elites in a Capitalistic society. Be prepared to be stuck in your job until you die, and don't plan any vacations.
Or perhaps Socialism. I'm not sure how people find jobs in this system, but if they are fortunate enough to work, all of their earnings go to help those poorer than them. So in effect you are working for those too lazy to work. I'm sure they like it, but unfortunately these systems come crashing down because when the freeloaders outnumber the workers (which ultimately happens), where exactly does the money come from? Oh, and the leaders of this system are exactly like the elites in a Capitalistic society.
Marxism. Obsolete. Dictatorship. A great system. Everyone does what they are told, or are exterminated. Work or be shot. Oh, and the dictator and his friends are just like the elite in a Capitalistic society. Vacations, a joke, unless you are a friend of someone powerful.
Hey, we might as well throw Islam in as another example. Although it is a cult hiding under the mask of a religion, they have their own set of laws for governance, Sharia Law. If you are a man under this system, you will have few problems. You are worth twice the value of any woman, you don't have to control your sexual urges and can have as many wives as you want and can even rape little children if you so desire. Anyone who disagrees with you can be killed, and anyone that doesn't follow your cult's rules to the letter can be eliminated. Oh, and don't try to quit, that is a death warrant too.
You can, however, go on vacation if you have enough put aside.
So, sorry, I'll go with Capitalism any day, and hope that people, one day, get the backbone to stand up to the corrupt controlling it -for the time being. I am positive that there is still enough good in the world to stand up to the monsters currently running it.
