I definitely support capitalism, but "corporate theft" and capitalism are impossible to be taken as two separate issues. As long as there is capitalism dealing with millions and billions of dollars then the exploitation will be just extreme.

I think you are cherry picking to a certain degree what i've said. I meant that some corporations are not involved in corporate theft therefore its hard to comply with it being linked together as one entity. I understand your point but not every corporation should be grouped in as a business predicated on theft. I seem to have noticed a correlation between those advocating Socialism and those that have not. Most who defend Socialism seem to be from Europe, is it coincidence or not?
