They reject capitalism because capitalism has been turned into "crony capitalism". They hate big corporations, because big corporations go out and buy politicians who then pass favorable laws only for those corporations, but not necessarily favorable to the people as well.
If this didn't happen so pervasively I don't think millennials would be that mad about capitalism. To fix this, bring back real democracy in the US (and I mean that as a generic "People's voice must be heard" term, not as direct democracy or mob rule, as many often misconstrue such comments).

- kome 11y agoWhat you call "crony capitalism", I call it capitalism in the real world. In my opinion people are not questioning the efficiency of democracy, but the legitimacy of the capital accumulation mechanism.
