The entire capitalism system relies on the capitalists being honest. The problem is that most of them are not.

One agitprop I always bring up is that "capitalism is built on informed consent" to make people realize that the system is broken, because even the most ardent supporter of the system realizes that there's very little informed and VERY little consent in what the system has become.

Now that i don't believe, they'll argue till they are blue in the face that you are completely consenting effect someone has a gun in your face.
