Do you think governments have had "more and more power" in the last fifty years? What is your reasoning?
To me, it seems like capital has far more power compared to fifty years ago.
> let's give the government more power in the name of social justice and expect that no one in the system is corrupted
Spoken like a true ideologue. Does this argument not work in reverse? Money == power. If you concentrate more and more wealth in fewer hands, then you can also expect corruption.
> it simply ignores the fact that people have no reason to work hard when they see someone who's chilling gets the same outcome
The thing about capitalism is that capital generates capital. Someone who is already wealthy can "chill" and get a better outcome than someone who works much harder.
