The real MLK was a radical. Take a moment today to learn something new about him. You will be glad you did.

@amerpie he wasn't wrong about capitalism. Things is that we are humans, so no system we ever come up with will ever be anywhere near perfect.

@capngloval @amerpie describing capitalism as "not perfect" is kind of burying the lede. It is an awful system, designed by wicked people to accumulate power while simultaneously getting the have-nots to blame themselves for their failure to be one of the haves and crabs-in-a-barreling each other.

Capitalism is perfect, in the same way that a xenomorph is perfect. Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

@dresstokilt @amerpie I could have been verbose about it, but I am still right. It is not perfect, which is what I said. I should have added a "very not perfect". I agree with everything you said. But the other options are nearly just as bad. As the Bible says, we are the blind leading the blind. Human rule always is deeply flawed.
