The system is flawed due to racism, oppression and the rich staking laws. That is separate from the actual system itself. The actual system of unlimited opportunity is better than socialist garbage that essentially says everybody get to eat Lobster 24/7. Especially those who don't deserve it, don't contribute or barely contribute economically.
This *is* the system. It doesn't operate in a vacuum. It's built on exploitation, exclusion, and inequality. That's why we need structural change.
And no one is saying everyone gets lobster 24/7. That's a lazy caricature of socialism. What we're are actually saying is that in a society as rich as ours, no one should be homeless, go hungry, or be denied healthcare or education, especially when billionaires hoard more than they could spend in ten lifetimes.
It's wild the way you casually write off people as "undeserving" or "barely contributing," while defending billionaires who make their fortunes by extracting value from everyone else.
If you're going to talk about who contributes economically, start by asking how much value someone creates versus how much they extract. By that measure, billionaires are the biggest freeloaders in the system. And aren't deserving of that wealth or power.
