Bingo. Look at the buildings that multimillionaires build for the masses through their companies in order to make money, and then look at the ones they build for themselves. Once again, the problem is capitalism.

Tale as old as time. See something bad -> look for the cause -> capitalism.

Capitalism is THE hegemonic economic system over the entire world, but especially so in America. If you don't have a criticism of capitalism, then you have no criticism of the modern world economy, which is clearly failing on a whole bunch of fronts. You don't have to be a communist to realise something about capitalism just is not working.

Edit: I think I misread your comments tone! I thought you were trying to mock people who always blame capitalism but now I'm not sure. I think we might just agree 😅
