Capitalists ruining things for everyone else? Gasp!

Capitalists are people. People will always corrupt a system for personal gain. Which is why communism is such a silly idea. It's always immediately corrupted. Capitalism assumes people are corrupt and has provided the greatest standard of living in history. It saved China.

Now you are just making stuff up. People are selfless all the time. But in a capitalist society you are punished for being selfless and awarded for being selfish. It’s a highly anti social ideology.

Many people can be selfless and wonderful, true, but the people who are selfish and cruel often work hard to be in positions of power and authority regardless of the system.

Yes, and we have systems in place that makes I more likely that selfish and cruel people, get to have power. We award power hungry people with power.

"People will always corrupt a system for person gain"

No, only people who would do this sort of thing accuse everyone else of doing it
