We’ve seen that American capitalism is one of the harshest forms of capitalism on the planet. How did it get so bad?

Yes, I agree.
I believe we see the result of such a situation presently taking place in the USA.

The rich and the powerful are terrified of a well educated, well informed, healthy populace.

If this were not such a danger to them they would not be so relentless in defunding and destroying public institutions.

Can the media reporting on news that the US agrees it is “worth continuing” with AUKUS, stop pretending that it’s some sort of big surprise that Trump agrees it’s worth taking our billions of taxpayer dollars for second rate submarines they don’t even have to provide?🙄
