    Capitalists say the free market is king then they go and make laws to stifle and restrict it so they can make monopolies and gouge everyone out of their hard-earned income.

      Capitalism is an egotistic not an idealistic movement. Capitalists don’t become capitalists because they think it benefits everyone, but because they think it benefits them. That’s why someone like Elon Musk is only against government subsidies if he’s not the recipient.

      Buy everything up so your choice doesnt really latter because the money ends up in theirs either way. And put hurdles in the way so no one could try to get any funny ideas and make their own thing

      They are not Capitalists. In fact capitalism is a great idea, it just we don’t have it.
