capitalism wouldn't be so bad without the corrupt bloated shitheel scumbag fucking christofascligarchs
Capitalism only works when heavily regulated, because human greed is a cancer to everything it touches.
This — if capitalism could be contained by government it would do nicely, but it ends up corrupting government so that it cannot function.
It's the basic idea behind ordoliberalism – companies get free reign until their actions start harming the common good, at which point the government imposes fair rules to even the playing field. It's... reasonably functional as far as political theories go. Still wildly suboptimal, though, and not long-term stable against the influence of hyper-wealthy entities.
