jewish capitalism is where the jews use the government as a tool to rob everyone else. then big corps, media, courts end up being controlled by jews and there is not capitalism, but jewish crime controlling wealth and and you would see a huge amount of jews in to and few else. new capitalism declares the jew to be equal or below others based on merit and honor. kill the jew capitalism becomes new capitalism. in the new era everyone becomes more wealthy, in the jew era only jews became more wealthy as their host nations were reduced in wealth.

Capitalism is good overall but you have to make sure that it won't choke itself. The challenge is to keep it somewhat fair for everyone. Everyone should have the opportunity to lift himself out of poverty by being able to start a business, by getting an education. If start ups get ass raped by regulations imposed via big company lobbying to prevent competition or if you need rich parents to be able to go university then it becomes unstable. The state needs to be objective and incorruptible in order to keep the playing field even.

It's not about everyone being rich per se, but everyone should have equal opportunity in a free market. It's pretty clear that all successful businesses in the current market oligopolies because otherwise anyone could borrow money enter the market and make profit. The fact that competent businessmen fail and the new business fail rate is over 90% means that current market actors have unfair advantages and are fixing the market. People bitch that marxists don't know what they're talking about, but they were the first economists to point this specific thing out to my knowledge, this is coming from someone who isn't a marxist.
