People who attack capitalism (their own freedom), do so because they have let the propagandists & people who want control over everyone define things for them. They have allowed power hungry people to frame the problems in a way that serves their overall aims & desire for control. What is infecting everything is monetary debasement, which is the heart of all centralized forms of top down authoritarianism. It is the root of every corrupt empire. It is the cancer that destroys every great society. The best living conditions, the best art, the best innovation, & the best of all forms of creativity come from free trade & sound money (capitalism). When those things are undermined everything becomes corrupt.

“Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot."
