Blaming capitalism for the mess the governments have created.
top government people and top business people are... the same.
and the big corps are decidedly bad actors in the whole situation
Many feel, mistakenly in my opinion, that government needs to exist as a counter to corporate power. They tend to cling to the fiction that government is an actual civic authority and not already hopelessly captured by the very corporate entities they, rightly, fear.
Corporate power and government power both stem from unsound money. If the whole world used the same hard money (bitcoin), corporations and government worldwide would have to prove their worth to secure funding and live within their means to pay their debts.
In a world of easy money controlled by the government and corporations, human nature will always lead to corruption and greed.
The fix is coming and the fix is bitcoin as the world's single reserve currency. Any country not backing their money with bitcoin in 20 years will see their own currency hyper inflate.
It could very well be that the first countries to do so will end up being the worlds new superpowers just like the US became after the dollar became the world's reserve currency.
I see nothing to take issue with in that.
I was merely elucidating the "progressive" viewpoint. Many on the left are genuinely good people, fighting the great power as they understand it, with the tools they think they have. True lovers of liberty would do better to educate than to deride.
I understand. I'm just pointing out that the differences between left and right are only possible because of unsound money. The whole debate and the differing views can only be possible in a world of unchecked power made possible by unsound money. All of the fighting between left and right would likely be mute if the world used the same hard money.
The free market would decide the demand for government services and corporations. When everyone competes fairly for limited resources, the only way to survive as a government service or private service is to provide true value that people demand their money be used for.
