1146 Capitalist Cesspool

Capitalism is based on avarice so strong it overcomes even fear, anger & lust which would otherwise shape society, so as bad as greed may be, it’s better than the alternative. Unfortunately, in a Capitalist society everything is for sale: loyalty, trust, integrity. It’s not surprising that an economic theory with such compromised roots would have such critical weaknesses. Government’s virtuous intent is to keep Capitalism’s vices in check but as government becomes more authoritarian, Capitalism exploits it by subverting a critical civil servant in the chain of command either through bribes, politicians are the prime example: successful candidates are de facto corrupt; they had to be to get elected; or extortion: every man has sexual peccadilloes they would be embarrassed to be made public: infidelity, porn addictions, chargeable sex offenses from their past; threatening exposure is enough to turn them into puppets. It’s so bad that in the cesspool of Capitalism, people who won’t compromise themselves are considered abnormal.
