I don't :)

I think we can agree to disagree on that part about human nature. I've met plenty of nice people, but those aren't the ones I'm worried about. You seem to be suggesting we could create a system that could be corruption free indefinitely which has me very intrigued

I'd still rather have that than a system that immediately becomes a dictatorship. I just don't think there is a perfect system if it's going to be run by dumb selfish humans. AI could maybe take a crack at it though, idk

With the right regulations in place we can continuously find more ways to prevent or at least slow down the consolidation of wealth and therefore power.

Consolidation of power is the enemy ultimately, and the problem is no matter what the system is, power tends to eventually consolidate due to human nature. The success of capitalism isn't that it's perfect, far from it. It's that it results in a much slower consolidation of power than other systems

How?

Actually... I don't care for your opinion since you're already wrong about my motives

It's neither free market nor communism, but it sure is capitalism. It's like a wind up toy about to fall off the edge of a table, we need to free the market again somehow to place it back in the middle of the table

I just figure if you called women dishwashers you wouldn't know big words like epidemic. That and it's possible to be lonely without being sexist.

Also, I hear the 4th way more often than the other 3

I doubt the first 3 statements are the same person as the fourth in most cases
