Back when they were competing with Communism as a world ideology, Capitalists had to put up some sort of pretense of humanity.

Their ugliest side came out and although our economy is growing, it is benefiting fewer and fewer people.

This is what a lot of the Bernie Generation is about, but they need someone else to lead it.
