Far worse ideas. Unfortunately, some of them are rather likely.

A take over the judiciary and installing conservatives in mid level civil service jobs through unlawful hiring practices. I don't know is that a conspiracy?

It's the system. Capitalism sets up and encourages the greed inherent in the laws of capitalism. This shit won't stop until we get rid of the system that facilitates it.

Capitalism is subject to getting twisted by the worst of human impulses, just as socialism and any other system is.

All of society is based on exchanges. Capitalism is and Socialism is, and any otger ism you care to mention.

It ought to be possible to set up those exchanges in an equitable and ethical way. But we humans always seem to muck it up, and let the greedy and ego driven pigs take control.

Its not the system. Its the fact that we allow the worst sides of human nature take over in any system.
