Fake Capitalism Is a Bigger Threat Than Socialism

Article says capitalists like Warren Buffet aim to create monopolies so increase their profits. Monopolies are bad for consumers because there is no incentive to improve the product or lower price.

Therefore as consumers we need to support legislation to stop companies creating monopolies. But more legislation is bad because, as I have been told, it is communism. Being equated with communism is really frustrating and makes it impossible to have any form of discussion on why companies need regulations.

Consumers are losing because it is profitable to exploit the system. Of course the system is then exploited. There needs to be a legal framework against the individual to not exploit laws and to not go after tax loopholes. Companies see fines as a business expense, with individuals free to try and get more wealth by any means. And once you’re wealthy you’re successful, so how you got wealth really does not matter.

We have a manipulated feeling of fairness and an expectation that the wealthy deserve it somehow. And really they don’t. There is a rising rage and in America and France it has been misdirected at the politicians.

Tyranny of any kind is the biggest threat and can be of the left/right/and center variety
