TBH I find little fault with capitalists when the fault lies with regulators. You can't expect the wolves to protect the sheep, that's on the shepherd. No one thinks markets are 'free'... and to the degree they are, again, it's on the regulators: tariffs, labor law, taxation, safety, monopoly, etc

thats sort of like saying "you cant blame this portion of humanity for their behaviour because they are the natural predators of this other portion; you need someone to fend them off or they will do... something predatory" not arguing that more regulation is needed but the framing, you get me?
