> Capitalism isn't there to fix broken democracy, democracy is supposed to limit capitalism I completely agree in terms of how to practically go about fixing the problems, but we're not discussing that here. You're right that broken democracy fails to limit capitalism; this allows people without moral limits to exploit, and make large gains from said exploitation. And you're right that fixing that system is what's needed. But lauding those who have exploited that absence of limits, for their apparent morals, is what's being discussed in this thread.
