Why are folks so anti-capitalist?locked

Hi all,

I'm seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I'm wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I'm pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn't the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I'm happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

Capitalism was designed to make a very few people extremely rich.

Yes. I have nothing against rich people but there is a limit. When they crosscthst limit, I am against it. I'd say, having or being able to afford a private jet is that limit for me
