this is not Communist or Left wing propaganda. But once you understand the dynamics of how economies work, you can appreciate that Capitalism is fundamentally broken. For the US to work, they would've to break Capitalism as we know it. And bring forth a hybrid system. You can't have a functioning system when half the citizens can't afford healthcare.

Money is not necessarily oriented toward harm and creating inequality, money can be oriented a different way, and peace can be profitable.
