A very certain sector, namely the wealthy, perhaps. But unfortunately, your rose colored glasses fail to see that wherever there are rich, there is bound to be poor and oppressed people also, which leads me to...

I would say, pretty fucking well actually.
It's pretty funny you use the biggest tax evasion haven on the planet, a country that invests next to nothing in social programs because it invests almost all of it in luxury hotels and banks. It's the perfect example of how wasteful and useless a system capitalism is.
And you say capitalism is getting better? No. About 65 people in the world own the same wealth as half the poorest people on the planet do, and while inequality between countries might be less than it used to be, it certainly isn't WITHIN them. So using any single country to drive your point home is moot - that is precisely the point: capitalism is a global problem, and not a national one that begins in any particular country.
Lastly, why haven't you responded to everything else I said about how capitalism works in reality? Is it perhaps because you have no refutation to what I said, because you know its the truth? Maybe you are starting to realize that any defense of this archaric, oppressive system is an untenable political position?
