May help explain... In fact some might say began 1913..

The goal of socialism is communism." -- Lenin

Understand that socialism isn't communism, that much of what ails the youth is not "capitalism," it's things like the Federal Reserve exerting monster control over the economy and helping the rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Central banking is, in itself, more akin to socialism than capitalism (economic control in the hands of a handful of elite, not organic and bottom up).

The proper road forward is not to continue to feed even more power to the central authority -- that is precisely what's destroying us. "More socialism" isn't the answer, it's the very problem. The road forward is to empower the people, which is what capitalism does. Socialism does the opposite: It steals power from the people and gives that power to the elite -- under the guise of "giving" to the people. The more power you give the Feds, the less power you and I (and our children) will have.

I believe last time we have had unbridled Capitalism was before the Federal Reserve (1913). We had exponential growth of the standard of living then.

IMO, we haven't had "capitalism" in decades. We have central bank-controlled fascism. Today's Socialism is a populist distraction to divide and appease the masses in order to maintain control
