I try to look at the world as a grand mechanism of logical systems, so I just think it's fucking annoying how people will just start yelling about shit, and their rational comes from a gut-based vibe check about how they FEEL about things.
Capitalism does have issues. When people can own the means of production to make profit, they can use that profit to buy up more of the means of production, thus it leads to oligarchic power creep. And, it does seem clear to me that, rather than driving innovation, it just consolidates wealth into fewer and fewer hands. if capitalism was perfect, Elon Musk wouldn't have 400 billion dollars, that money would be more evenly distributed between himself and his engineers who actually did the innovation.
But capitalism has advantages too, mostly that it's intuitive and doesn't require outside factors to function. Also, other economic systems have worse problems. Socialism tends to devolve into a bureaucratic nightmare because government oversight is not nimble enough to respond to real world scenarios, and communism just can't really exist outside of a hypothetical vacuum because it's too inherently impossible to make function in a human scenario.
Capitalism can be regulated to prevent its worse excesses, but when people render the concept of regulation to being inherently socialist, #1 they're wrong, definitionally, and #2 they're getting up-in-arms about forcing childish, retarded binaries for kids. The world's complex, these people want to force it to be simple, and then get mad and start bitching when you tell them to educate themselves. It pisses me off.
Because... What are we doing here? Listening to some uppity college student yell about the economy when he doesn't even really grasp the terms he's throwing around. Why the fuck would I listen to that shit? Idiot is making an ass of himself.
