When people go back and forth and present their own ideas, that's an opportunity to explain what you want to say in greater detail or elaborate on some aspect of it. I mean, I literally said these things pages ago way earlier in this discussion

So I don't know how you think I don't think the current system needs refining. I've only said it over and over again in different ways.

You must have missed what I said before about automation and reducing scarcity. The "exploitation" aspect of capitalism is going to reach a nice fat 0% as those things take their course. The sheer inevitability of it scares the living hell out of a significant chunk of the .01% because their business models will disintegrate.
