The game of capitalism is to win by any means necessary. Rigging the game and evading the law is part of game itself. All winners play the game this way.

- eru 2y agoWhat does any of this have to do with capitalism? Have you ever seen a succession struggle in eg any old monarchy?
- ninetyninenine 2y agoCapitalism is a system that allows people to make wealth based on trade. The winners in this game are the people at the top of the hierarchy. All these type A billionaires are the ultimate winners of the game. Zuck is a winner. In communism the system says there are no winners. Everything needs to be fair.
- mionhe 2y agoThe "system" in this case being the guy at the top who has taken all the power. Please feel free to point to the real world exception, because I can't find it.
- eru 2y agoThere's plenty of exceptions. PR China just after Deng was a good exception, and so was the Soviet Union after Stalin. But they were only exception in the lame technical sense that you didn't have a single 'guy at the top' in charge, but a sharing of power by eg something like the Politburo.
- eru 2y ago> In communism the system says there are no winners. Everything needs to be fair. I'm glad you take them at their word. May I interest you in some beach front property? In any case, there's plenty more systems than just these two.
