My friend, America hasn't had actual Capitalism in decades.  We've had Corporatism.  Captialism didn't fail us, we failed Capitalism.

Here is the kicker. You can't have Capitalism either without people's words being ironclad and a strict code oh honer (lawl, what a nice world it would be if it jsut worked like that), or what is more feasible would be to have government regulation to ensure no bullshit occurs. But then you have regulation which is not part of Capitalism, and the entire concept itself is almost a paradox. The more I think about it the more I realize actual Capitalism is even more of a fairy tales than Socialism.

But you can't say it was Capitalism that caused our problems when it was Corporatism that you are actually thinking of.

Whether you think true Capitalism is even possible (a philosophical debate on some levels) is irrelevant when that's not what the problem was.
