Yeah the way I look at it, capitalism is like oxygen -- completely pure, it will react almost anything and destroy it. But dilute/regulate it down, and it's remarkably useful. Even then though, you need safeguards/antioxidants to help keep it in check.

So the problem isn't that we breathe oxygen -- it's that we're breathing 100% pure oxygen instead of normal air (which is like 22% oxygen).
