Actually no... there are actually sister protest at my college and they are full of signs stay "Capitalism Is the Problem" and such. And don't worry there are definitely many of those too in the regular protest as well.
There are MANY, including myself, who don't want capitalism done away with, we want it fixed.
In my opinion its an excellent machine for transforming resources into wealth, and much good has come of it.
But it is inherently concentrative. In a real sense it IS concentration. Takes money to make money.
The bigger your money pile gets the faster the money pile gets bigger, the less actual "risk" relative to the pile as a whole.
Its not evil.
Its amoral.
It does not care about you.
It will eat you.
Like fire. Very useful. Very dangerous.
But manageable. Domesticable.
It can be forced to serve those who employ it as opposed to employing those who serve it.
If everybodys getting fatter at more or less the same pace overall, YMMV, its working for us.
If a few are getting fatter, and owning more, at a much faster pace, and the many are pretty much not getting fatter AT ALL, its being used on most of us in the process of working for a few of us.
It needs to return to being OUR economy.
It needs to return to being OUR capitalism.
So long story long, I think many more think capitalism is "broken" and needs to be fixed than want to be rid of it.
