Capitalism in its purest form within a just and civil society would be quite successful and fair to most people. The problems begin with market manipulations, resource monopolies, and governmental interferences. There are many hoaxes played on the masses in order to control them and manipulate their decision making.

An example of market manipulation would be the diamond industry. Diamonds are commonly believed to be a precious stone, meaning they are relatively rare. Nothing could be further from the truth, diamonds are composed of the most abundant element on earth, carbon, as such the potential for diamond discovery is massive.

The commercial interest of the diamond industry is controlled by the

Oppenheimer family's cartel.

Through their efforts most people think diamonds are valuable due to their scarcity, but this is a fallacy. Their relative scarcity on the market is controlled by the one family and it's ties to powerful influences.

There are literally hills of diamonds being bulldozed in Russia and massive diamond finds in Canada, but they are either owned or controlled by the powerful Oppenheimer family.

It is my belief that the energy markets are controlled in this way and with this control of energy can manipulate the vast majority of the world population.

Here is a video from 1994 to get more info.

The diamond metaphor could be a tool that could be used to educate people of how they are being fooled. It is simple, straight forward and well documented.

Unfortunately, being bilked out of trillions of dollars and leaving that problem for many generations to come, still has not sunk in. Perhaps that whole episode was either too confusing or too scary to face?

Yet, it is not the fault of capitalism, but a combination of greedy men, selfish politicians and the most important ingredient neglectful citizens. Not only did our bodies get fat but so too did are minds!
