You know all of this is about money based on the coordination between Governments and Corporations to crush the working class.

The reason they fired them was because they weren’t even working. They were busy making their “the day and a life of working at Google or something” and yes capitalism is flawed but it’s the best we got

Capitalism is inherently unequal and oppressive and we need to evolve out of it.

That's not capitalism. Capitalism doesn't have corporations.

Corporations are treated as people rather than the owner of the business. They can't be jailed, or held accountable in any way. Their only purpose is profit at all costs. They were originally created as a means for multiple individual businesses to come together for a short time to accomplish a goal that none of them could do alone like running power lines across the US or building a massive dam.
Accountability is a major part of capitalism.

There is no accountability under capitalism. Businesses always privatize profits and socialize losses/costs.

The accountability is to the consumer. They choose whether to buy from the company or individual. If the company is getting an advantage from the government like subsidies paid for by the consumer's taxes, there's no longer accountability. The consumer can't just choose not to pay taxes.

No, we haven't lived under capitalism since they took us off the gold standard.

We still live under a system of commodity production where the means are owned by the bourgeois.

That's not capitalism. Capitalism is the exchange of goods for an agreed upon currency. The moment the government gets involved and companies or individuals can affect the exchange of goods through laws in their favor, it stops being capitalism because not everyone agrees with the controlled currency.

Taking your money and giving it to people who didn't earn it is the entire backbone of capitalism and the cause for wealth disparity between the working class and the elites.

Actually a socialist is someone who wants the workers to own the means of production and to socialize the outputs of production. Read a book, just once.
