True. Capitalism can be made to work well for most people, as shown in many European and Asian countries. You need strong regulations (and for workers to engage in unions and in voting). People (specially on lemmy) seem to mix American oligarchy with capitalism.
The people who are willing to do more unethical stuff to make a profit make more of a profit, and become more powerful as a natural consequence, so the problem is with the system that incentives this and brings it to the top
Yeah alot of them love capitalism so hard, while simultaneously bemoaning every single part of capitalism, while being too stupid to be convinced the two are connected.

No, everyone doesn’t hate capitalism.

My country speedran capitalistic invasion in 30 years. Or 23. Depends how you count it.
The capitalist class that expropriates the working class’ surplus value sure doesn’t hate capitalism.
but everyone hates the big companies and the rich people
its just that the right has been told that the left are the rich people (and then the left say that the neoliberals are the rich people, etc)
Do you think the problem with big companies and rich people is that individual rich people and the CEOs they elect just happen to be bad people?

Then I am confused why you would disagree with the left, that the political philosophy of capitalism, liberalism, is to blame.

it’s a question of education. They’re not stupid, but ignorant
