I feel like it's not capitalism itself that's at fault, but rather the deliberate corruption of the system starting around Regan that systematically bankrupted humanity.

All the world's wealth being stolen and winding up in the hands of only a few autistic nazis isn't a natural result of capitalism. It's a lie to perpetuate the legitimacy of the oligarchy.

Capitalism can both be fundamentally broken, but also deliberately and systematically corrupted.

People had money, then we deliberately started bleeding the middle class dry of all wealth and funneling it upwards. Efforts needed to be taken to prevent the wealth transfer in order to maintain a healthy Capitalism, but instead we do the opposite. Over and over and over again, but by bit every year, policy and society changes to drain the middle class, and safeguards are stripped away.

Maybe capitalism can never work, but it definitely can't work when it's rigged.

An economic system that thrives on "getting one over" on the other guy is the perfect system for people who argue for diversity. Communism, which is based on the false idea of human cooperation, absolutely requires ethnic and cultural homogeneity to have any chance at all of working because cooperation requires the perception of kinship

Making demands for an anti-capitalist system and making demands for diversity are completely at odds

Then what you want is socialism. Capitalism that is "rigged" to be fair and without the usury

I could imagine that what we refer to as capitalism (at least in the conceptual sense that has developed over the last two decades) is the actual cause of the Fermi paradox, and that this represents such a powerful (entropic) trap that practically no civilization survives this step.

oh no no no no no no

you guise romanticize revolution so much you think that's what you want, you romanticize centralized power so much you think that's going to work and you romanticize the industry under said power so much you think you'll be paid to do something easy, like lurk 4chan all day, when you'll probably end digging ditches somewhere or in a mine or maybe in construction, if you have the skills, which you ptobably don't
besides, how could you ever organize and carry out a revolution when you can barely get up on time to go to work?

Social programs are capitalism. Ask Adam Smith.

Yep.

true

Social programs are not equivalent to socialism. You would know that if you knew anything beyond name drops to appear intelligent.

crying about capitalism is like crying at a football game because the other team is better than yours and you want a medal

If they didn't choose to work hard enough to be rich, then dying is their own fault. God rewards his loyal followers with wealth, and punishes the sinful with poverty, which is why helping the poor is subverting God's will and must be stopped. The rich deserve to be rich, and always will.

Do you know why there are so many people that that many can die and not affect your life? Glorious prosperity, courtesy of capitalism. You see, when people are fed and housed, they reproduce. When people reproduce, the amount of resources the total population must consume to sustain itself increases. When that happens and the demand is met, they will reproduce until it isn't. When the demand isn't met, people start starving to death. That's where we are now and it is in no way a failure of capitalism. Your worldview is naive, shortsighted, and childlike.
