More and more, people are finding out how shitty capitalism is. But they often fail to identify the real problem: the rich. Everything is a sham because a very small group of people have all of the wealth. Change that and ordinary people can have something too.

The problem is the system itself.

Fuck the rich, but fuck the system harder.

You can get rid of every rich person in existence, and still not be free from the system.

If there was no wealth gap then why would I want to get rid of the system? Sounds like it's working pretty well.

It's not working well for most of the globe, which is being exploited, their resources stolen, their people doing absolute worst jobs imaginable.

Just so the west can act like they are the greatest the humanity has to offer.

Yeah, I'm just saying I think the elite are the problem. They're the ones who created and protect the system. Without them, it doesn't work.

I really hate to say this, but the issue is not only the rich.

The issue is the voters themselves.

You could open a new dental school in every province. Tuition will be very affordable, but graduates will be required to work 5 years for a public dental clinic. The dental schools and public dental clinics will be funded by taxing soda, alcohol and cakes.

Any politician that suggests that will be immediately accused of creating a nanny state.

The rich manipulate the voters. A portion of the population are stupid as fuck and fall for culture war scams, but it's at the behest of the rich to keep us from developing class solidarity.
