Burn Down Capitalism? History Says You’ll Just Get a Bigger Tyrant.
Capitalism is broken, Washington is for sale, and America increasingly resembles an oligarchy with a customer loyalty program. But before we burn the whole system down, perhaps we should consult history. The French wanted liberty and got Napoleon. The Russians wanted equality and got Stalin. The Chinese wanted prosperity and got Mao. Every revolution promises to eliminate the ruling class, yet somehow produces another one with bigger boots and fewer restraints. Capitalism needs an overhaul, not a suicide pact. Because when you hit the economic reboot button, the new operating system might come preinstalled with a dictator—and no uninstall option.
