I am serious with this modified Churchill quote. Capitalism, like democracy, may be condemned because it's imperfect, but people need to be conscious of the fact that everything else is imperfect too.

As an analogy, we could look at internet comment culture where a place like VGC would be capitalistic because it has a police force, a hierarchy and somewhat of a reward system for people who put in effort. VGC isn't perfect, but nothing is. The equivalent of socialism would be the Youtube comments section.

I didn't claim that socialism was perfect. And yeah, VGC is a good example of capitalism, ioi barely ever shows up here yet makes the ad money while the moderators who put a ton of effort into the site don't make a penny.

Careful. If Atlas shrugs, you'll have no site to complain about the owner on.
