Red Pill me. Interested in different perspectives and coming in with a completely open mind. Give it your best shot, for real.
This short video, "The Plan To Save The World," outlines a lot of it well:

From my position, all of the problems listen in this video are a symptom of late-stage capitalism in which finite resources are being depleted and thus the capitalist class that owns all the wealth are doing everything in their power to keep gaining more power and wealth while benefiting from the fall out & keep their profits coming. I don't think there's a deep network of people pulling this off, rather it's being done in front of us every day and it's really not that hard to find the link between all these problems and someone making a profit off of it.
This isn't a left vs. right issue, it's a ultra rich vs the rest of us issue. & party politics is only used to further drive that wedge.
Most here would agree with the sentiment that it's the elite vs. the rest of us. What makes you think that the existence of an elite ruling class is unique to capitalism?
definitely not exclusive. just what the case is under the system we are under. I'm an anarchist so any state/ control system is not something i favor
You’re on the right track. Keep going! Most of us agree with that viewpoint. There are corrupt actors on both sides of the aisle. Trump was a “Republican” but he wasn’t a career politician.
The point I need to emphasize the most is that the Trump team’s goal wasn’t to get re-elected. Their goal was to take down the Deep State politicians, Big Tech, Big Media, the CCP, and the global elites like Soros and Rothschild who control the world banks.
A lot of career politicians on both sides are “Deep State” or “the swamp”, working to keep themselves in power and keeping others out. The DS also extends to other gov agencies (especially FBI and CIA), Big Tech, Big Media, Big Pharma, etc.
The important thing you need to know about the Deep State is that it’s all about blackmail and bribery.
Deep State 101 - Blackmail
Deep State 102 - Bribery
Deep State 103 - Bribe someone to do what you want and blackmail them so they can’t refuse.
The next thing to understand is that a lot of this bribery and blackmail originates from our foreign adversaries; the CCP, Iran, George Soros, Rothschild, etc.
Our adversaries are buying our politicians to “control” the USA so they can force us to make policy decisions that favor themselves. The Iran Nuclear Deal, banning the Keystone pipeline, CCP owned/controlled corporations (through the banks- Soros, Rothschild), etc all are beneficial to our adversaries.
If you keep this in mind, the context and direction of a lot of these posts will make a lot more sense.
What do you think Capitalism is?
Capitalism is a word for the system humans naturally use to exchange things.
Adam Smith simply outlined the way people interacted.
Watch the filmstrip fren: Learn about money and who is controlling it.

Un-redpilled lefties are not frens...
Point taken. Hopeful they'll see the light.
And here we go. The commie was never interested in a real conversation.
Let this be a lesson. Don't take the bait. Just block and deport lefty shills.
What made the United States pre-1800s unique was that the government existed only with the consent of the governed. There wasn't really a social elite that held power because they were rich and powerful, or because 'God wills it', or because they used the military as a tool to hold power. The people who held power in the early period of our Republic held power because they were well-educated and were generally well-respected by the people around them.
There was also a greater emphasis on the USA being a union of states with their own sovereign governments, their own laws, and their own traditions. These states individually had the right to determine the manner in which their governments were elected to office, and those members of government would then represent the interests of their constituents on the federal level.
The problem is that nowadays, Congress members care far more about representing their personal interests than the interests of their constituents. The solution would normally be to elect into office individuals who do actually give a damn about their constituents beyond their personal goals, but as you may have seen in this election cycle, the individuals holding power will defraud that power of the people in order to prevent themselves from being voted out of office.
I realize that you are an anarchist, but I would also direct you to the precedent of world history to suggest that no government is worse than a bad government. The reason for this is simple: Even a government that oppresses its people can often defend itself militarily from other governments. A good government exists for no other reason than the protection of the governed from foreign invasion and domestic destruction.
