You have no idea, you should live in a third world country then you would really know what it means to live off of other people's work, corruption is great here, and the worst part is that the free trade guys (better said millionaires and billionaires) are a main part of this corrupt system, better said the stalwarts of capitalism. Look I think you should know I don't believe in any system all of them are corrupt, here on Steemit the big onus is on anarchy and anarchy is just a variant of the same crap, you start out with ideals and end up with a few people getting rich off of the majority. It has, is and will always be that way.

Minimum Wage
So how does one discard capitalism without relying soley on a government to control all aspects of goods and means of production? Venezuela comes to mind. Milton Freidman and Thomas Sowell argue these things best. Alas, perhaps the future really is bitcoin?

Friedman's ideas have been proven wrong all over, I can vouch for that they have been in effect here since 1990 and the economy has actually gone backward, we survive because of money sent by immigrant workers and drug trafficking the only place you could say it worked is in Chile but it worked there because a dictatorship made it work, which contradicts Friedman's point of a small government being the basis for progress there is no larger government than a dictatorship, there is no real alternative, always the top layer will suck off of the bottom one, no matter what system you implement. Capitalism, for one (this can be said about every system) is responsible for the deaths of probably millions of people so that a select group of people can lead a great life, if not look at what happened in India, China, Latin America, native North Americans, coolies in the west, blacks all over Africa, etc. Communism, millions dead because the system didn't count on the weather screwing with farming, this apart from all murders committed by these regimes, monarchism, been killing people for centuries, feudalism ditto, so in reality apart from Jesus coming down and taking control of everything I don't see anything getting better, and somehow I don't count on him returning.
