What you think of as capitalism is actually much closer to communism than actual capitalism.

In actual capitalism the government doesn't interfere in the market. What we have now is many layers of regulation on every single aspect of business. All those corporations you complain about having too much power, were given that power through regulations.

When you do not have the bare necessities of nutrition, water, clothing and shelter that gives corporations all the power to exploit you. Let’s see how many people would willingly work for them if they didn’t need to to survive.

the problem is that USA was unregulated at first and this didn't worked, so regulations were introduced and now went too far. Imo capitalism is still shit because it's very unfair system and socialism is more effective.
