    Had when?

    Unrestricted capitalism is a disease, but it’s not like anyone ever voted for it in the first place. It just happens in all systems. Politicising it only came up after someone had gained some capital and managed to pursuede idiots into voting for them to keep it.

      A joke circulating in Russia in 1992 went like this:

      Q. What did capitalism accomplish in one year that communism could not do in seventy years?

      A. Make communism look good.
