    I like to blame capitalism for everything, too, but this has nothing to do with capitalism. Just the US Democracy not being a Democracy

      Capitalism worsens the principal agent problem of representative democracy because it’s trivial to bribe representatives, especially now.

      Ah yes the world richest man and a billionaire president have no financial motives for overthrowing the US gov. Definitely not the fault of the greedy capitalist system

        By world richest man you mean Putin or Bin Salman?

        Yes, but a functioning democratic system does not allow that.

        Any power tripping person could overthrow a country for different reasons (like Hitler for example)

          Capitalism encourages the break down of the democratic system.

            Unbridled capitalism.

              No, just capitalism is correct. Unbridled or not, the profit incentive and private ownership over the means of production, both of which are intrinsic to a capitalist economic structure, still exist and contribute to systemic oppression.

            Where communism never had any democracy to start with.

              Thats because the US toppled every Democratic attempt at communism and socialism with staged coups and assassinations.

                And why’s that folks? That’s right! The profit motive!

                Yes, the US is clearly to blame for the Stasi.
