Elon Musk bought a seat on the Twitter board, Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, Bill Gates has given over $300 million to media outlets. Actual free speech and democracy are not compatible with this level of wealth.
Capitalism leads to concentrated wealth. Concentrated wealth means concentrated power. Therefore capitalism is incompatible with real democracy, which requires dispersed, not concentrated power.
One of the primary problems with the idea of reforming capitalism is that a capitalist system will always lead to wealth accumulation. And the wealthy will always use their money, and therefore power, to undo reforms. This is one reason capitalism must be done away with.
@JoshuaPotash And comunism does not mean concentrated wealth and power, assigned without an ounce of meritocracy?
@JoshuaPotash I always say that Capitalism is the only, "ism" based purely on greed. It's doomed to implode eventually.
@JoshuaPotash Capitalism is an extinction level event
