It's all interconnected. People like too play one class against the other, and often the criticism is correct. But in the end we should all remember that we are in the same boat. If you blow a hole in the "other guys" end of the boat, you are still going to sink.

Well yeah, ironically that's how Capitalism works, it has to continue to grow or it collapses. Unfortunately we are on a fixed size rock so that way of life doesn't really sustain itself long term. At some point it cant grow any further, not without a heavy detrimental price to pay somewhere else. Name your natural concluded 21st century retaliation .... Mass Poverty, Environmental collapse, War over resources... .... ....

Get your piece of the pie before its gone. Smash and grab...

Yes it is all interconnected, we all are on this planet together, sharing it. Agreed. When a system is built upon scarcity, it naturally pics winners and losers to work. Seems to be unavoidable when you do the math. I don't like it and I think we can do much better. But not under the current short sided materialistic/consumer based value system that capitalism seems to breed. I think we can practice Capitalism more responsibly and have different expectations about how it is to serve us. The stock market is probably the epicenter of all that is wrong. Unless of course you are investing in solutions to the current failing paradigm.

Many people feel the same way. Trying to address this "non politically" all I can really say is you would not be able to change the system very quickly without major upheaval. A slower march to a different structure would be required and frankly, I'm convinced that is the path we are on. But I'm not sure people will be that happy with the destination.
