People who bash capitalism after the last century of expansion should just be considered negationists at this point.
Sure it is not perfect but it's infinitely better than any other economic model available.

That was sort of my point, but I may have drowned it in a little too much negativity.
I do however think we should work with capitalism as a model though. It’s quite obvious to me that it needs a strong political regulator to make sure it doesn’t run amok. I’m not against inequality for the sake of being against it, but I do recognise that too much inequality and too few opportunities for a lot of folks is potentially dangerous.
people who defend capitalism on the face of the last century's (and ongoing) environmental disaster should just be considered negationist at this point.
Sure is not all wrong but it's infinitely worse than any economic model that actually secures a sustainable future
Yes, good thing we had USSR and still have China that were (is) very environment-conscious!
So capitalism is infinitely worse than the one-child policy?
Please stick to intelligent discussion. I didn't specify an alternative model for a good reason, it doesn't exist yet.
But your attempt to pre-empt that the only possible alternative is Chinese style state-sponsered capitalism illustrates the paucity of your imagination or the malice of your intentions
