Yes, I believe you are correct.
Capitalism is all about making money.
If you add to capitalism man's tendency to greed, you can imagine the damage he is capable of doing, to the Earth, to his neighbor, and to himself.

It's not surprising that US currency carries the statement, "in God we trust." That is capitalism.


Peace,

LOL.

How difficult is it for you to buy gasoline? Jewelry? Milk? Meat?

If not for capitalism, necessary resources would not be there.

Atlas will shrug.

It's not communism per se that is the problem. The problem is how it's been used.

Wage disparity in the US is not improving, but growing worse. At least in a communist society, people are guaranteed a home and a loaf of bread. Pure capitalism is completely heartless.

Probably very difficult, if you aren't making enough capital.

The issue is that there is no way to make it work.

Your "Peace" signature is crap.

Socialism has killed 100 MILLION people in the lest century and today destroys a peoples liberty.

Give it up already.

"You cannot make short people taller by cutting the legs off of tall people."

Capitalism is boss....anti-capitalism supporters are basically envious losers who cannot compete.

Raise your capital. It's not that difficult.

Without the reward of profit, who would do the work to provide these things?
