You being your own boss isn't being a capitalist.

What we see in the US is actually the end form of capitalism where it transcended the market to influence politics and capture the market even more.

Free markets aren't exclusive to capitalism, and I would argue that the markets would be freer under socialism as it would respond to the needs of the community first and foremost.

    You're right, that would probably be better for all of us. I've listened to a lot of speeches by Michael Parenti; there are way better systems than what we have to put up with. He discusses this subject really well and I think that we could potentially take steps back in society and restore a better world. I try to make a difference, I don't like seeing all of us get fucked over and over for profit. It's unnecessary.
