>I agree there were past issues, Are there current issues as well? [1][2] A main point is this (and I think its been mentioned elsewhere in this thread as well): An attack on the status-quo is not a promotion of socialism Our current implementations are a far cry from a free market. The entrenched powers and corporations don't want free markets-- its socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor [3] [4] We'd have to start from scratch to attain a free market. And even then, the oft-quoted invisible hand of competitive markets falls flat in an increasingly opaque, complex world [5] It seems to me that you have a strong sense of what is fair. I urge you to look out into all the wealth of information we have and take a hard look to see if our current way of being is fair [6][7] [1] https://poverty.umich.edu/research-projects/policy-briefs/rising-wealth-inequality-causes-consequences-and-potential-responses/ https://poverty.umich.edu/research-projects/policy-briefs/ri...
