Argue with a Capitalist about the flaws of Capitalism and immediately they'll point out that what we have isn't "true Capitalism." (To my mind the flaws inherent in Capitalism are a feature, not a bug: it will naturally manipulate the levers of power to amass more advantage to corporate interests. If we get rid of government, what remains will be a group of corporate city-states, not freedom.)

Regardless, it would be nice to be able to judge an alternate economic model free from the sanctions, sabotage, assassinations, car bombs, paid thuggery, dirty tricks, drones, media lies, and outright invasions that inevitably spring from our Capitalist country.

In closing, I find Donald Trump a bizarre guarantor of our natural rights, being a genuine American traitor, proud pro-Zionist, and enemy of whistleblowers everywhere. Some savior.
