Goodness.
It's the one system, that while occasionally harsh, directly rewards hard work, creativity, and risk. As if we need government (usually somewhat haplessly) to mess with that.
Socialism and it's good pal communism have the highest death toll among economic systems currently relevant, by a million miles. I can understand a frustration with life and career, but that it's soooo quickly attributed to "the system" while inherently suggesting such a blatantly destructive alternative is ignorant.
The problem isn't the system, people are the problem. Socialism sounds fine to some but has never been executed in any form that hasn't been destructive. Meanwhile, while not perfect, capitalism has been a success.
