I am shocked to see how many anti-capitalist’s there are these days. Capitalism is quite frankly the great western experiment that has historically been proven to promote technological and social progress through the understanding that hard work and freedom to communicate ideas brings success. The opposite would be forced ideology and mandated work schedules - this has historically brought famine, genocide and mass technological decline.

Let’s keep it clean and post a single question per post so it can be more easily digested.

    That’s the result of the great western experiment. Capitalism is the systems that has had the upper hand in all these areas. I think we can all agree to be more compassionate and fair - but it seems that bashing capitalism is self defeating. The most free and less brutal system has proven to be capitalism. Efficient - hell no! Communism is efficient for sure. I’m not so sure you want an efficient legal system - you want it blind and slow. Think about it - all other experiments have ended or are in a state of implying human suffering. The only way in my opinion to live peacefully is via capitalism with some compassion to the lower 10% of the population and a watchful eye on the top 1%. Your definition of compassion and watchful eye will vary, but the less the better in my opinion.
