A good video of how capitalism works and why it is so bad for the environment. It also shows how some companies can be socially responsible.

"Capital must expand, buy up or destroy competitors, reach into every corner of society to try to squeeze money out of it. It naturally accumulates, concentrating wealth in the hands of the few at the expense of the many. That’s not a mistake. That’s what it does. There’s no other way it works. The problem isn’t extreme capitalism, corporate capitalism, or greedy capitalism. It’s just capitalism." So begins a thought experiment where Stephanie McMillan guides us through a process where we become a capitalist.

Capitalism won the Cold War because it could out endure the Commies in Russia. Now it needs excuses to prop up it's own ways and is making all kinds of excuses to show why we should stay purely capitalist.

I think Capitalism will lose in the same way communism is loosing. Stalin, Lenin, Mao, even Putin, will tell you why.

Capitalism has no morals, it just is that's all.
