The Democratic party has spent the last 10 years conditioning the public to think Trump is the only problem rather than a symptom of our decaying capitalist system because their party serves capitalism too

To summarize:

  • capitalism always results in the accumulation of wealth in a minority of hands through monopolies and oligopolies.
  • once wealth accumulation occurs that minority will always utilize their wealth to manipulate the systems which control all our lives into their favor.
  • regulation can be used to redistribute wealth, but is always going to be dismantled eventually through propaganda, lobbying, and bribery. Once dismantled, we're back at square one.
  • therefore, capitalism is an irrideemable system which will always reach a failure state.

This is arguable, and honestly this exact bullet point can be made for virtually any political system, but it's most likely what OP's on about.

    No, just plain capitalism, there are no varying degrees of capitalism
