Historically inaccurate. It was the US government that broke up Standard Oil before it destroyed any and all competitors. It was government that finally forced companies to provide safety, regulations, and better pay for workers. Capitalism left to its own devices has ALWAYS found MORE ways to exploit labor and environments.
However, for the last 5 decades capitalism has corrupted more governing officials/programs and brainwashed young people like you in an ever increasing fashion. Convincing you that Unions are bad, Socialism is the devil, and “free market” capitalism is here to save the day.
Well, the data is in…capitalism has failed at all its promises for society. Capitalism has however, greatly increased executive pay, corruption, pollution, and profits for themselves.
Capitalist don’t like history or data…because it shows the inevitable cannibalism of capitalism.
