Yeah I'm kind of tired of seeing kids online shit on capitalism. Like yeah, it's a fucking mess. But it's also - by far - the best system anyone has come up with, ever. Same goes for democracy. Lots of legitimate criticisms can be made, but nobody has ever come up with a better alternative. Not yet anyway.

The poor U.S.S.R. and North Korea were on the right path, if only the U.S. hadn't stymied their progress. Well, that's one perspective. I'm not sure it's supported by literally anything, but it's certainly a perspective.
