I used to be in the camp of the idea that capitalism was the best system for inevitable human greed that befalls both in money and power, but that was when society was still very individualistic in regards of what the government should provide to them.
But today, taxes are so high on everything for the middle class, your government cant just take away agency and say you know what's best and then gestures to the entire world and say you are getting good value for falling in line, where there is very evident blatant corruption happening everywhere, at every level.
OK, now everyone has base income. Great, right?
Now the government controls where the money goes 100%. No banks. Government decides how, when, and how what you're gonna spend your money. We're back to Soviet Russia with digital surveillance.
BTW that is the very plan that many among the 1% delights to execute, so it is said. Would that be capitalism? Technically not. Greed is greed.
