    This seems terribly misguided.

    What’s happening in the US comes from broken institutions, extreme polarization, and uniquely American political problems - not capitalism itself. Look around: plenty of countries more capitalist than US (Nordic nations, Switzerland, Singapore) have solid democracies without sliding into fascism.

    You’re confusing economic systems with political structures. The issue isn’t free markets; it’s the specific American mess of corporate money corrupting politics and the eroding checks and balances.

    I’m so tired of people blaming capitalism, it’s like blaming hydration for drowning. Makes as little sense.
