And more importantly how to improve on capitalism.

Absolutely it would be great if the collective holds the minority to account in the above but there are huge enablers among those who really are getting fucked over. People who will break rules to cosy up to the rich and powerful, who will fuck over others the same or worse off just to get ahead and perhaps worse of all those who think that those who are mega rich/ powerful deserve it (look at how many people look the other way when the rich break tax rules vs when the less well off and definitely more justified do) We probably agree on more than we realise Hunk but the big difference is I dont think its the system thats the big problem.Aye, chances are we're fucked. Outlook is very grim. We don't hold power, a small minority do. Even Starmer has to bend the knee.

Ever since the crash of 1929 they've been pushing for more market deregulation resulting in the crashes of 1987 and 2008. The panama papers gave us a glimpse of the huge amounts of money they've been siphoning off since forever (since the inception of capitalism in the enlightenment). There is no balance whatsoever in the current system.
Governments worldwide are on the leash of big business, not the other way around. You can see it in how labour/democrats cannot get anything done without coming to some agreement with big business. Either you play along with the charade or they'll find someone else to fund who will play along and is willing to 'manage' the populace.
