- wrycoder 4y agoNo mention of capitalism. Their comment relates to a corrupt and entitled elite, which has come to exist in most societies down through history. The trick is to peacefully cycle the elite out of power before they become corrupt, because it seems that most humans will become corrupt, given the opportunity.
