I don't agree. Capitalism is and has always been about greed. It's why people invest, to get maximum profits and externalise all the negative side-effects.

I think capitalism works if it's balanced with socialism and strongly restricted by law as we used to do in the Netherlands and some EU countries still do. Unfortunately the Netherlands was lost to the neoliberals and now to the fascists :( But luckily I don't live there anymore.

I dont think capitalism is even the whole tree. Its actually greed and selfishness which needs to go.

This is because capitalism glorifies greed and selfishness and considers it the primary driver or human behaviour. Which it isn't for everyone. Many of us leftists vote left despite it not being in our personal financial beat interests. Sharing is caring etc.

Unfortunately the system is so damn rigged in favour of the multi billionaires.

Or limiting it at least. Instead of the free for all big business American and Chinese version.
