Capitalism works. If you disagree, you’re wrong.

As has been said, the problem with capitalism is not that there are too many capitalists, but too few. Centralization is the real evil:

• Centralized capitalism is giant corporations colluding with governments to strangle competition;
• Decentralized capitalism is a host of local Mom-n-Pop shops successfully competing against giant corporations.

Two methods corporations use to eliminate competition:

• Regulations. Giant corporations are in the best position to handle regulations (assuming they even have to comply), whereas Mom-n-Pop shops can easily be choked by them. (Also consider the moves made to snuff out the gig economy.)
• Income tax. This is not a tax on wealth (as popularly misunderstood), but a tax on those becoming wealthy. Naturally, those already wealthy love income taxes, because it means fewer people will become wealthy like them, thus increasing their relative power.

I still believe decentralized opposition is the best chance we have to take down the centralists (like the damage Budweiser has sustained).

I’m reminded of the animated, shape-shifting wizard battle between Morgana and Merlin. Morgana shifts to a dragon, thinking nothing can beat that, but Merlin shifts to a bacterial colony and infects the dragon with a disease. :)
