I used to be a big believer/promoter of "well regulated" capitalism, which intended to round out the worst edges of capitalism.

But seeing the state of the world, and the naivety/complacency of the general public, I've realized that well regulated capitalism is a pipedream.

Ppl falling for the dumbest of reasonings, by the least intelligent of us, show that there will be no regulations on capitalism.
Even FDR's version lacked in many areas; not addressing racism, speciesism or the environment.
Given enough time, those issues may have been solved, but for the group of ppl who made it their life's quest to undo everything he'd done. And they have won that battle in spades, with most of his programs eliminated or watered down so badly as to be mere reflections of what they once were/intended to be.

Capitalism is completely about making money for corps and shareholders, and that requires destruction of the natural world to do that.

I can't see where any form of capitalism will benefit us and/or the planet.
