And I'm not advocating the capitalism is the answer, either. Personally, I quite admire the concept of democratic socialism, and I think that currently, the Nordic countries like Norway, Denmark, and Sweden figured out what's arguably the best system, considering how they consistently rank at the top of the happiest citizens with the best quality of life.Case in point as a mark against capitalism, for a quick example; Iran's current shitty, anti-Western Islamic government was installed by the US and Britain because the moderate, actually sensible one didn't want to open up its oil reserves to exploitation, so the US and Britain more or less toppled that government and installed one that was much more willing to play ball and sell.

Well at least you're consistent. Way too many people condemn Marxism while giving capitalism a free pass for all the atrocities it's responsible for on the basis it's "just business". It's because of shit like that I fully admit to having very little trust of anybody who is wealthy. It's just natural since they have screwed me over personally too many times. 

Also, as much as I like aspects of Sweden's system it does still rely on exploitation of the Third World and that is not something I can agree with.
