I'm going to cut to the chase here and say that, unless there is some evidence to the contrary, we do not have 'an issue' in this country with people who want to 'eradicate capitalism altogether.'

I think a much worse problem is this weird agreement that "capitalism" is under threat. It's not a result of any real efforts to end or even moderate capitalism. It's because of constant demonizing of milquetoast Democrats as a socialist, existential threat to capitalism, when they just aren't. That's all this statement from Scott is - scapegoating. That is a very bad problem.

Capitalism and Socialism belong together like Republicans and Democrats belong together in Congress, like conservatives and liberals belong together in society, as two halves of a whole. These two forces work together to moderate and prop up each other up, each by being strong where the other is weak. It's like a match made in heaven for a society where everyone gets enough, and people who do a lot more, get a lot more. What else could we ask for?

It's just a matter of getting people to see it.
