Capitalism is the greatest tool ever created by Mankind. A select few, the entrepreneurs, take the risks...while a bunch of whiny children cry how unfair it is that the select few were successful...and steal their stuff for the express purpose to punish them.

it's definitely the religion of the moment given money doesn't even exist. we believe hook line and sinker.

I wonder did the 19th Century liberal economists misappropriate the works of Charles Darwin to cloak what would have otherwise been deemed as reprehensible economic practice? Did they take excerpts and phrases such as 'survival of the fittest' out of context of a much broader picture and narrow it down to justify unfettered greed?

Politics the Greeks elaborated on this philosophy. It is more complex than just a form of survival it is a form of control. Without control complex societies could not exist. The unfortunate effect is that certain groups of people feel a need to control the tools that perpetuate a thriving society (money) again a control factor. The only way to escape the protocols of capitalism or socialism communism is to go live in an island far away from influence.

That's a pretty good analogy. The most notable difference is hunter-gatherer societies tend to limited by the technology available to them to only take what they need - so, for example, the tribal hunting party will only kill one or two deer, because by the time they've managed to do so the rest of the herd will have run away (some people like to say hunter-gatherers are wise and consciously only take what they need. In some cases, this may be true; however, we can see from some examples, ie Native American hunters driving a herd of buffalo into a gully and then killing the entire herd, that in at least some cases this wasn't always the case).

Nowadays, "killing the entire herd" (used here as a metaphor for using up everything that's available) is relatively easy with technology, and capitalism's growth at any cost simply isn't sustainable on a finite planet.

The sickness cannot be fixed until stock owners in a corporation are held personally accountable for every criminal and civil action brought against that corporation in court. Every asset owned by a stockholder should be at personal risk; not just the money invested in that stock.

Hmmm...no.

Also, for clarity the American system is nowhere near capitalism. Capitalism implies a separation of government and industry. This thing where business owns the government is oligarchy leveraging whatever the supposed original economic system was in the region. As @macrobius said, every system we've implemented has gone south.

No. It is bartering extended by an arbitrary mechanism of holding value.

Yeah and also of collectors and selfish hoarders.
