Try talking to a person who grew up in a primarily black neighbourhood in America. Or a poor person who had to skip school so they could work to afford food.
Almost every rich person now had rich parents and rich grandparents. Even the “self-made” rich people had access to opportunities not available to poor people.
It’s easy to risk everything to try starting your own business when failure means going back to your parents for food and housing. It’s so much harder to justify trying when failure means starving on the street, and not trying means continuing to live in a house.
Capitalism does not give people a fair shot. It takes wealth from people with capital to give to people with capital, and by necessity, oppresses people to stop them from gaining capital.
The vast majority of people simply do not have a fair shot.
People who defended capitalism at this point in time are in constant denial. Capitalism only works well for everyone in highly competitive new fields/markets.
Once the monopoly sets in it no longer serves a useful function to the rest of society but does enrich a minority.
An awful lot of capitalistic practice is rent seeking nowadays. It doesn’t add any value and instead creates it out of thin air.
There has never been an effective small businesses capitalism economy that every capitalists uses to justify capitalism. It always ends up as game of monopoly.

Anyone has a fair shot at being a wage slave

You honestly think racism doesn’t exist in other forms of government?
That is a strawman argument. I did not say that, and it is not relevant to what I did say.
Fucking hilarious!
Dude… it’s absolutely what you’re taking about. You framed capitalism as a form of govern that allowed racial discrimination.
ALL forms of government do this.
Now I’m done discussing this as you’re clearly working in bad faith to come out on top here.
Yeah I agree, that was a ridiculous thing to say.
