Same argument I used to get into with "socialists" in my masters program that didn't have any foundation in economics... not even Marxist economic theory. Capitalism isn't bad, per se... it's just the market fundamentalist/neoliberal version of the last 50 years is garbage. We don't actually have a free market now.. a free market can't exist without regulations breaking up cartels-- not regulations protecting them. And some sectors (like education, childcare, and healthcare) are too important to be left to profit margins and are a matter of maintaining human capital and the strength of our nation.

We really need to regulate cartel behavior and break up monopolistic companies badly. I’m on the Right but you’re right. This is not a healthy market currently.
