    I think we’re in total agreement. The accumulation of wealth is natural under capitalism. And as long as wealth is not overly skewed, capitalism aligns somewhat well with the needs of humanity. But as the balance tips, the alignment drifts. People could argue about the exact point at which capitalism no longer serves the people, but I think many of us believe we are currently past that point. I believe we are.

    It’s not that capitalism is wrong, it’s that it has become unbalanced and we need something to reset it. In the past that something has been revolution and violent upheaval. I hope we are able to find another way.

      Its parasitic though (it truly benefits well only the few), and as you stated, needs constant resetting.

      Not sure that you can call a system that needs constant ‘resetting’ as the right system to use.
