Change my mind: Capitalism is an inherent class struggle between those who do the work and those who own/run the means of production
Seriously, if you have a persuasive enough argument I will change my mind.

@madmax83 It's a hard one to put into words for me, as in one aspect (the generation of wealth) capitalism is a good thing, but in the other (the distribution of wealth) capitalism needs a serious overhaul. I think we were closest to the vague idea I have of an 'ideal' situation in the 1950s-60s, when people were earning more through the influence of unions, and the economy grew as a result. Things like raising minimum wage is one thing, but taxing the rich more to provide all citizens with a universal basic income as jobs are lost through automation is another thing worth looking into.
