     @Huntn00 The problem is the system. Capitalism is inherently exploitative. It relies on a small group of people keeping all of the products that 99% of workers created just because the government says it's ok, and only gives those workers a fraction of the products of their labor back in the form of money, money of which they have to use to buy the things they need to survive, and if they are lacking of enough money then they'll be denied the basic necessities of life and will either die or be forced to resort to a life of crime. It doesn't matter how "nice" a capitalist is in the same way that it didn't matter how "nice" a slave owner was or how "nice" a feudal Lord was, because it was the socioeconomic structure of their societies that was the problem, just as it is now.

     @Radical_EgoCom Capitalism might exist in a better state if not for the “humans” running the show. If elements like pay decent livable, even better than just livable wages, share the wealth, social safety nets, affordable health care, pensions so you don’t have to work till you drop, and big time caps on individual wealth plowed back to society it might work. However the problem is people, temptation, corruption and virtually any economic system you want to choose.
