    It is a fair comparison. Capitalism by its base statement posits that everyone benefits when everyone acts selfishly for their own gain. That everyone has the same access to Capital and opportunity. All statements which are bullshit on the face of it. If there was ever a moment those statements were true it is not this current moment.

    Now I’m not some inflexible ideologue. I acknowledge that ideals are ideal and not real. But I can be honest and acknowledge that Society working to make sure that everyone is relatively equal and has access to the same benefits is by nature much better ethos then gambling that some Invisible Hand of the market will be fair.
