Having power over others is certainly not system-unique.
Not unique, certainly, but having a system built on it doesn't seem to be a good idea.
Stop edging yourself, you want to say capitalism is the problem so bad.
It is, I thought that was obvious.
I think Capitalism is also just part of the problem. China and north Korea are somewhat to not at all capitalistic but still none of the citizens who live there have any freedom.
I don't know what causes countries and their citizens who fought and sacrificed their lives for freedom to give it all up.
I don't know how we can fix this.
It's human insecurity (read: fear).
And maybe greed, too
It is. It was just funny how you were edging yourself with it.
