The only ones for whom capitalism works are those already obscenely rich. The rest have to work more, just to maintain their incomes, and even so they risk becoming poorer. In sum, capitalism means the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
Not all capitalism is the same. The Henry Ford mindset of paying workers well created the middle-class of yesterday's Detroit, but Cannibal Capitalism created today's Detroit. You should read the book Cannibal Capitalism and see how capitalism can be harnessed in the public interest.

also, as humans we grow in exponentially, in science and technology. Better systems will be had soon, not now, not in your lifetime, but soon, relatively speaking. 100 years from now will appear bizarre to us now... humans are instinctively progressive... combine that with exponential growth... and humanity is destined for something that we now cannot comprehend. for now, however, capitalism is what we have, enjoy it. because I'm hopeful of the future, the future could be just the opposite.

also, capitalism leads to the progressiveness of that society. the only way to currently progress our way of thinking and our sciences is through the present capitalist systems. so capitalism is the way to go... for now.

the problem with capitalism is that it can lead to hedonism, how ever the problem with communism is that i deprives people of individual freedoms... so the answer to these problems lays somewhere in between these two ideals... the nice thing about america is that the people have the power to change this... since capitalism seems to work, we stick with it. I'm sure something else will come along in the future but, until it's broke, why fix it?

Poor people can become rich in America. That's only because Capitalism allows it. If you don't see this you're not worthy to live in America.

I find it rather ironic that a person would post an anit-capitalist video on a website that he would not be able to do without the capitalist system...I guess some people just can't see ignorance 3 inches in front of their face....

This video title is true.
Capitialism is for the rich and the relatively well off because they benefit the most from it.
This is the way is is and it always will be.
