If the goal is to make a profit for private owners, you are going to get this shit eventually. Regulating the fuck out of it might make it feel better but only in comparison.

We could regulate a system where the workers own the means of production too.

But we should be making things that last forever, protect our planet, etc. Profit is antithetical to sustaining life so, advocating for that sounds insane.

  If you want to end Capitalism, you would need to get rid of the stock market and ban financial shareholding entirely. Make investing illegal, and you would remove the primary mechanism for worker exploitation.

    There’s nothing wrong with regulating the economy.
