Capitalism works great. You just need to put in a few guard rails and be willing to step in and fix she once in a while.

guard rails

B...But that's SOCIALISM!

Don't get me wrong, I think the tankies and communist are as crazy as the trumpets. A pragmatic center voting base is dead.

As soon as you get even slightly specific about the guard rails, people start moaning.

We just need people to quit bitching about the guardrails

Lemmy has been quite a shock on that front. All these people bitching about capitalism using a machine only capitalism could have provided.

And yes, every excess of the system can be dialed in without trashing the whole thing.

Unfortunately, capitalism requires an underclass of oppressed laborers in order to function. Or at least, every capitalism ever has had one. Maybe it could work without it? We'll probably never know though.
