As long as people are ruling other people, there will be corruption and imbalance. It seems that soon we will have a third type but I don't know what they will call it. Thanks Larry.

Socialism is corrupt sociopaths ruling people. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system. But it has been corrupted by greed. All the protections that kept corporations and private entities from gaining power over our system and the people have been removed, and Bill Clinton had a huge hand in that. Now politics is about money and power. We need to reinstate the laws that kept the free market fair and encouraged small business, and kept wages and inflation fair. But instead of fixing our system while we still have rights, we should replace it for a system that has killed over 300 Million people on the planet, and treated the survivors as trash. If anyone thinks that any of that stuff in the meme will go away under socialism or communism, they are truly stupid. Never has socialism fixed any of those problems, but in fact they have made them 100x worse but added genocide to the mix.

Fact.

Including NGOs, secret societies, secret agencies, etc. These "capitalist" systems exploit, oppress, exterminate, and wage war just as much globally as any other top-down systems.

The problem is not capitalism or socialism/communism. The problem is the top-down system of the ruling class.
