      Don’t forget certain people are significantly less equal, but they’re reactionaries and they don’t count as people, so it’s O.K.

          Any system we come up with will be corrupted by those who lust for power at the expense of others. Communism has the issue where the government controls everything, meaning there are far fewer barriers for a bad actor to corrupt the system.

          Capitalism being more decentralized means it takes a bit longer for regulatory capture to get to the same point. But it’ll happen eventually because those people will never stop worming their way to the top.
