    America is not capitalist, it’s an oligarchy that masquerades under capitalisms flag. Capitalism would ensure a healthy system for people to profit, an oligarchy steals from the lessers to pay the Lord.

      Capitalism is when most people don’t know the definition of capitalism:

      an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

      Which sounds a lot like oligarchy with a profit motive.
