You are going overboard, Umair. Capitalism is not a lie, it is a system. And if one wants to believe in a system, then there are still various formats to capitalism.
The sad part is we have put money in the center and have people dance and adjust themselves to it. It should be the other way around, and I think you and I agree on this simple assessment.
Capitalism is putting money in the center spot, but it is not the only part. We also have another system that helps regulate societies: governments.
There are four distinct governmental systems in my book:
A/ Single-party nations (of whatever kind)
B/ Two-party nations (USA, UK)
C/ Three-to-five-party nations (Germany)
D/ Six-parties-or-more nations (Finland, Netherlands, Spain)
This is not about the exact number of parties. Britain, for instance, has more than two parties, but when we look at the last 60 years, we mainly see two parties in control.
How we organize ourselves in government has a reasonable impact on the results we see from capitalism. Scandinavia (with just one House, no other level) does best; most everyone agrees. Capitalism works fairly well there. The USA, though we can be proud of many results, shows us the more naked version of capitalism. Tremendous wealth in the hands of very few people, Tent Cities across the nation.
Not capitalism, but our control mechanism is flawed, particularly in the Anglo-Saxon nations (but not exclusively so).
The United States Constitution is asking for the better governmental system put in place, and you can read in the following article that cities and counties should already be proportionally run today. We can make it so; let’s make it so.
Keep writing, you are doing a good job. But we have two eyes, not a single eye. So keep mentioning capitalism, but place it next to the other eye of how we govern ourselves.
