More accurately, what we have today isn't capitalism but corporatism.

Someone who had a glimmer of a clue once said something along the
lines of: "Capitalism follows the logic of the cancer cell".

That's not accurate, but it's close. Corporatism is the proper target
- eliminate the laws and practices that enable corporations, and
especially those that shield them (and their owners) from liability
and responsibility, and we'd be much better off.
