    Regulation could keep capitalism in check.

    In reality capitalists use their money to make and change laws through lobbyists or bribes, and by propaganda through owning all media.

      Not in reality, but in the US. Lobbying is called corruption elsewhere and is a crime. Don’t put this shit on capitalism, it’s a US only problem.

        We have all of that in the EU too. The US is just a few years ahead.

        it’s a US only problem.
