It’s OK to be Angry About Capitalism by Bernie Sanders

Sanders’ popularity and his immense value to the political ecosystem stems from his willingness to say all this out loud, defying the credo which has defined mainstream discourse since at least the Clinton era: that the class war is over, that capitalism is as inevitable as the weather, and that markets don’t need morals, because they have their own separate schematics, drawn by an invisible hand.

the ability of leftists to hate capitalism from listening to the people who have greatly benefited from capitalism speaks volumes about the idiocy of those leftists.
 
Capitalism requires constant and strong regulation. The concept that all they care about is making profits is a blueprint for corruption and disaster. They should care about workers, the environment, and laws. If they profit more by abusing employees and wrecking the environment, they will. Then, like Trump, they will defy you to stop them. They will use the courts, lawyers, and lobbying to break laws and rewrite regulations.

If I am making money, why should I care about other people?! Bad system.

Indeed it is. It is a recipe for disaster and inequality. It requires vigilant and honest regulators.

Adam Smith was quite naive. He thought capitalism would make people more moral.
Although, not clear that he believed the state should let the system do whatever it wanted.

help us make a sincere effort to reform our institutions, instead of just black-pilling it.

The first part was about what capitalism does. Trump, however, is a terrific up-to-date example of how the system has been perverted.
 
I have voted for Senator Sanders in our last two state democratic primaries, but my party won't nominate him.

No matter who is doing the blaming, too few are blamed for this nation's debilitating problems.

Our citizenry overall is lacking relative to the most civilized parts of the world.

JPP is a microcosm that proves it.
