let's face that people and selfish and corrupted with power. it's slightly better to have that power in the hands of a few giant corporations that we could try and regulate and fail, than ONE institution that decides all.

well capitalism was designed with the explicit purpose of extracting wealth from the lower levels of society and taking it to the top, which isn't a very just way of making an economy. and it's not like there's an either or choice between capitalism and authoritarian/totalitarian systems, we could all strive for something better, i.e. a more even balance of wealth that doesn't go in to recession every 10 years
