Lemme set this up for y’all before you watch it
Think of the most satisfying thing you’ve ever experienced:
-Sex?
-Chocolate?
-Drugs? (no judgements here)
Now multiply that by 100 and press “play”

Lemme use this video as a teaching moment, esp. for those shouting "eNd CaPiTaLiSm," not knowing what the hell capitalism is:
Capitalism, just like socialism, is just a tool in a toolbox; it& #39;s neither inherently good nor bad
Let& #39;s simplify this with a hammer, for example...

A hammer is not holy or evil by nature
And like any other tool, it& #39;s efficacy is determined by its USER
You can use a hammer to build a house with (a good use)
Or you can use a hammer to bash someone over the head with (a bad use)
The hammer isn& #39;t the issue

Same w/ capitalism; you can run a profitable company that either:
-Pays employees well w/ good benefits; responsibly pays taxes based on the tax code; is ethical, or
-Underpay employees w/ little to no benefits; evades taxes; unethical
Capitalism isn& #39;t the issue
Management is

The problem today (for decades, really) is: we have bad managers of a capitalistic tool (and y& #39;all know I don& #39;t mince words…mostly white people)
But yelling "eNd CaPiTaLiSm" doesn& #39;t solve the problem; you& #39;re demanding to rid a tool instead of removing the abusers of the tool

If someone& #39;s building terrible houses, you don& #39;t get rid of the hammers (you know, the tool used to build the damn houses?)
You protest for better builders
You SUPPORT better builders
You VOTE for better builders
You move the tool from the wrong hands & into the right ones

Because newsflash: an abuser of tools will misuse ANY tools available, not just the hammer: the saw, the drill, the wrenches…anything
That means even the other tool, socialism, can be misused (keep thinking marginalized groups can& #39;t be systematically excluded from services)
