Well Robert, I hardly see how socialism solves anything you complain about. What we have here is not a problem with the corruption of one particular group of people you label “capitalist” (a label I do not hang on myself). The real problem is with the corruption of a group of people I call the human race.
No system has better solved or ameliorated the problems of slums, starvation, lack of medical care, basic sanitation, freedom of slaves, global warming, pollution of air and rivers, poorly built sweatshops, unsafe roads and products, ruined environments, workplace illness and injury, etc, than the socialists. In fact, all of those problems above on this Earth are generally created by the capitalists, and capitalism will always cause these problems because it is not designed to solve them, and it doesn’t even care if they exist or not, as they are not important to Capital.
All of those problems above can only be ameliorated by the socialists and by state intervention in various ways. They can never be solved or in general even ameliorated by the capitalists.
I will elaborate on this in a later post.
