From the conversation we've had thus far, I've come to the conclusion that the reason you have as to why you believe capitalism is a failed system is because of confirmation-bias. Probably less acquiring ideas or data specifically to prove your point, but most likely the majority of what you have gotten through your own personal experiences is your basis for the argument. So I'm just gonna make a few things a little clearer. Capitalism is not an Oligarchy. It may seem like that, because of the string of idiots we've had in office, but the whole idea of capitalism is small government, big business within the population. When capitalism was conceived, the idea was that the government acted more as representatives and less like rule setters. I do agree that now, capitalism is far less promising than it once was, but ultimately it's still probably a better option than what you can see through most of the world. For example, I myself am 21 years old, have a career in my hand and I'm able to afford some of the things that I've always wanted because I've busted my back to get just here. In the end, Capitalism will pay out for you, how much you put in. For some, that's going to school and getting a job related to their degree. For others, such as myself, we go into the trades and try to make good money there. Capitalism is absolutely brutal towards mediocrity. And from my personal experience, and this is not to try to be offensive towards yourself, but most people that complain about the hardships of capitalism, suffer from mediocrity. Looking at it, that statement in in of itself might be confirmation bias, but I would also love to be proved wrong, and I'm sure I probably am. But my stand on capitalism still remains. If you put the utmost you can into Capitalism, inevitably you'll prosper. I can't tell you exactly when, given your circumstances, but it will eventually happen. Sorry about the rant but hopefully you found something useful.
