The "free market" is great at creating problems.

The free market is great at creating solutions. Something planned economy based governments are incompetent at.

Evil humans sometimes make bad solutions in a free market. Let’s stop blaming systems and start blaming humans for their corrupt & greedy behaviour.

Fighting about systems only helps corrupt politicians topple each other from place of power. Hence the funding that goes into obsession over capitalism, socialism, communism debates.

Systems not taking into account that humans can behave in a corrupt and greedy way are just bad systems. We can totally blame those systems.

That’s like saying “people” are great at creating problems. It is a true but unbalanced and unhelpful statement, since people are also great at solving problems.
