Corrupt
You're calling it corrupt, but you're describing the only system that actually *works*. Show me a thriving economy without private capital flowing to politicians—they all do it, everywhere, because it gets things built. Why should we pretend otherwise instead of just regulating it?
Capitalism is unethical because it causes people to use money, for a planet we were born on
That's backwards. Capitalism lets people *earn* money instead of begging rulers for scraps. You think feudalism was ethical because serfs didn't use currency? Money is freedom—what's unethical is pretending we can survive without it.
We don’t need money, because money is the root of all evil, money is used and traded for doing crimes
Money doesn't cause crime—desperation does. Poor countries without access to capital have way more violence, not less. Strip away money and you just get barter and power. Who decides who gets what then?
Capitalism is freedom correct?
No. Capitalism is freedom *for the rich*. A homeless person starving on a capitalist street has less freedom than a Soviet citizen with housing, food, and a job guaranteed. Freedom means nothing if you're desperate.
Then that proves my point as capitalism is wrong
Wrong logic. I just said desperation kills freedom—capitalism creates wealth that lifts people out of desperation. Soviet "guarantees" meant breadlines and secret police. Which sounds more free to you?
Capitalism is white men in power elitism such as the rockerfellars, rothschilds. They create the money system to keep others in a matrix. In order to work a job or create money you need either and id or a high school diploma or ged. Even a college degree. We go to school from 5-17 then told to get a job. I’m anti-School because school makes us go under societal rules. Such as lack of freedom. We are told to raise our hands to speak. Also basic colorolgy kindergarten is bright and colorful while higher grades are darker. Simply why to keep us under a Saturnic matrix farm, and wean us off the frequency so we don’t question things.
You're mixing real inequality with conspiracy. Yes, the system favors the connected—that's a capitalism problem worth fixing. But blaming "Satanic matrices" and school colors? That's not analysis, that's distraction. The actual villain is lobbying and regulatory capture, not kindergarten being bright. Attack the real enemy or you'll never beat it.
