I’m not here to argue the finer points of the merits or ethics of capitalism with you, but the fact is that under our current system they provide a very important and essential function. Your ideological approach to rebutting the facts as I stated them don’t change anything and in fact belie an immense ignorance of the functioning of the modern economy - you and all those who also decided to throw a downvote out of ignorance

While I recognise that they are a thing that exists (and this is not something you can change), you appear to claim:

A. To understand how the "modern economy" works

B. It cannot work without one system

Both claims are very big claims, and while they could be true they are nowhere near so obvious that you can say that it belies an "immense ignorance" to think that this system is bad.
