    Forget about the Eurocentric urge to insist that the same words that are subjective when applied to anatomy stop being so only for politics.

    Just by the articulable principles of the American left, capitalism is an inarguable compromise that can only be tolerated the way we tolerate bigotry to protect free speech.

      I agree in parts. Free-market capitalism is like a plague because of all of the corruption it brings leading to the even worse version, which is subsidies to the rich and bootstraps to the rest, but I think it would be naive to think internal billionaire pay to play schemes are not possible coming from other nations where we have less control too. It would be better to target the obscene elements and create laws and structure directly into the constitution about what the meaning of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness mean for citizens and that it specifically doesn’t mean businesses or entities other than living humans on the land.
