Nor does it get mine. See what I said about monopolism and capitalism. Capitalism is the guarantee of private property and freedom. Monopolism destroys both. Socialism doers so as well.
The left, career politicians and "Beamte" benefit diretcly from the illusiuon that thigns must be controleld and reuglated by them, else they would not have a living, because they have nothign to offer that would allow them to be compoettitve on a market where people, products, goods and ideas and skills compete freely for best offers. They are loosers. And that is why they hate the market so much and call it evil: it unmasks their incompetence and uselessness and bigmouthed megalomania. The pendulum of the enlightenment swings back where Descartes accentuation of reason and reaosnability is understood as that the market instead can be planned, can be designed - where thew simple truth is that it is undertstood by nobody how it functions, we just see that it functions if left to itself, and that it becomens a mess where we want to plan it for the better, like you do not stirr a glass of muddy water to infkle3unce how the mud settles, but leave it to itself. It has been far more knowing and expere3inced minds than me who wrote whole books about this: that yoiu cannot know and plan the market, but that the market organbises itself, and that it is best to leave it to that. Hayek on mind, for example. But these minds would end the poltii8cans tyranny over the peopole by bringing end to the paper money system anbd endless money pri8nting of worthless billets, and so they got not listened to, got ridicukled and ignored from all beginning on, no matter the areguments of theirs that in orinciple until today have not been resounded until today. Instead: more cetnral banking to "plan" the unfolding of the paper money system, and more planning of the people'S motivations and the market and the economy. That is what gives politicans the opportunity to claim offices and privileges, to dance at exclusive parties and shine before the cameras.
Yopu cannot and should not accuse capitalism for the deformations of it: monopolism, and what you called locust capitalism.
