You're right. So I guess we are agreeing that the hyper-capitalist system we currently have relies on exploiting others?

We can build a system with less sharp edges without blowing it up.

Like worker representation on boards (Germany does this), cap gains that reduces as you hold investments (Clayton Christensen proposal), and holding the countries we outsource to similar environmental and labor standards.
