Capitalism is a shit system, but it took ~200 years to corrupt to this point because the power is more distributed (at first).

The US is reaching the average lifespan of an Empire. Capitalism has not been particularly good at preventing collapse, it has been about average.

    Acknowledging that a problem is more wide spread than just one country isn't dismissing anything. In fact, I addressed that fact that the US is worse than the rest.

    I think your reading comprehension needs some work.
