    you want to blame capitalism and only capitalism, not corrupt politicians, not their policies, not their agendas.

    Could you not say that the forces of capitalism have brought about the greed, justification, etc. that leads to corrupt politicians, policies, agendas?

      I think it’s more due “corporatism”, where government and certain privileged large corporations work together to enrich themselves at the sake of others. Technically not really capitalism, which is just a system of trade which uses capital rather than barter to facilitate trade. It’s important to be clear on these things if we want to fix problems.
