social policies such as housing, welfare, and medical aid programs protect the capitalist system itself.

It was not always like this but yes over as 40 years the money has been looted and used against the working class.

It took wage slaves all this time but I think it is finally registering:

How is everybody working so hard, we are working more and we are more productive but nobody but few have any more money

The money is being extracted via complex legal, social and propaganda mechanisms and we are letting it happen by being obedient dogs fighting rich man’s fake news stories.

If you take a look at europe, there is plenty of countries who score way better on these issues, and the underlying system is still capitalism. It might not be perfect but if you include a social aspect and regulate in the interest of the population I believe it is the best system we have.
