I would love to hear more from you. This take doesn't gel with anything I know, but it seems as though you and I have at least similar takes on how flawed a concept capitalism is - what I'm curious about is what you believe the connection between liberalism and capitalism is, and whether you also believe that conservatism is the antidote.

I'll pregame such a conversation by saying that I'm disillusioned with both sides of the political spectra. I could most generically be described as a flavor of socialist, but that doesn't really capture what I believe effectively. I wish we had a direct democracy, and I'm off the opinion that unchecked capital markets have effectively coopted our political process.
