Again, false dichotomies. I only said capitalism allows for concentration of wealth, and therefore power. I said nothing about other systems.

And I spoke about the US specifically because capitalism is implemented differently in different countries. More on this in my responses to your siblings.

It's definitely a matter of the way you've read my post. You're inferring a lot of stuff I didn't say, which doesn't logically follow from what I did say.

As for the edit, I'm just testing a psychological pet theory of mine.
