(6,625 posts)and never said otherwise--the problems I cited with capitalism reflect destruction of what FDR accomplished, and it's been deliberate--look what happened--we're not in FDR's capitalism any more--the oligarchs took their wealth and bought out the government, destroying by now virtually all of what FDR put in place that made capitalism more equitable. That's Professor Wolff's point--that the same thing keeps happening.
But, take heart--we are headed for oligarchical fascism, faster if red don gets in another term. Then, almost all of us will be vassal serfs to a criminal autocracy and won't have to worry about whether capitalism is regulated enough.
