I don’t know, Mats. You may be semanticizing by saying that capitalism isn’t the problem, but rather abuses of capitalism. How is that a distinction? I could reply that Communism in its pure form is admirable, but that the system leads to abuses, and is thus not viable. It seems legitimate to me to protest against capitalism for the reason that it inevitably leads to abuses and to severe income inequality - historically that has been the case since the Romans, the Medicis, Victorian England… Capitalism has always needed an anti-capitalist regulator to prevent abuse that would lead to open revolt, which to me is not the sign of a virtuous system which needs small tweaks here and there.
