What does capitalism have to do evil?

I believe it is my duty to case mocking liberals for my own entertainment and reveal what you are incapable of thinking without a person of average intelligence to aid you. That's right, I'm about to prove you wrong and I am not claiming to be an "intellectual" like some arrogant smug cunt, I'm using it to prove you are an idiot which is the truth. Also I am going to tell it to you straight, I'm not going to attempt social engineering and come up with some nonsensical bullshit in order to hide my true intentions which does nothing but insult the intelligence of the people exposed to it.

Capitalism isn't the cause of all the problems you attribute to it. Capitalism is just an economic system with as many problems with corruption as communism or any other economic system.

It's elementary logic.

A occurs in the presence of B. Does this mean B is the cause of A? It does not.

The real cause of corruption and immoral behaviour are systems which permit people to do so and in which motivation to enforce justice is utilised to a high degree. Both capitalism and communism fail to do this in comparison to the free market, which is a completely seperate philosophy and has no place in your over-simplified abstract almost child-like view of the world.

You are idiots.

Agreed with everything, but...

You really can't have a large scale society
without some form of capitalistic system.

Capitalism is a product of the industrial revolution, and large scale societies existed before then. Money and trade all existed in the ancient world, the people just didn't have the inalienable rights that we enjoy now. Thanks in part to the great thinkers and leaders of the 18th, and 19th centuries. Capitalism is a part of this, allowing freedom of enterprise and such, which strengthen economies greatly.

Communism, where it was applied, deprived people of these rights, severely retarding economic development in countries that adopted it.

Fear and opposition to Bolshevism influenced many right-wing thinkers into opposing all state influence in private enterprise. Privatization and deregulation is an ongoing trend which may be economically beneficial, but can result in social issues which many did not foresee, or currently dismiss or ignore.

One of the problems today, which is rampant in the USA, is the interference of commercial and industrial enterprises in the democratic system, through campaign contributions and back room quid-pro-quo deals.

I imagine this is probably what American liberals object to, which can easily come off as anti-capitalist (and by association communist or socialist).

Sorry for reciting the economic history of the world there.
I just don't know when to stop
