There is no perfect system. In fact, all systems are lousy! The kind of capitalism that exists today is a variant of socialism --- only it's socialism for the pals. Previously there was laissez faire or monopoly capitalism where the pals exploited everyone for their own ends. The little man is stuffed under any and every system. Just be glad you're not an Albanian in Kosovo --- where you have a chance to be murdered by a Serb thug or bombed by a NATO cruise missile, allegedly while NATO is acting in your interest. It does not help you one iota to keep moaning about your predicament. There is sweet fanny Adams you can do about the guys who are running the show. Rather use your efforts to improve your own life. If you continue to preach subversive stuff and try to recruit others who, like yourself, wish to overthrow the system, you might find that something unpleasant will happen to you. It's just a question of making enough noise to attract the attention of the right guys. PS. If you haven't already done so, I can recommend you read a book which did a lot for me when I used to feel very angry about all this stuff : "How I found freedom in an unfree world" by Harry Browne (1973) ISBN 0-380-00423-2.
