If Communism is a religion then so is Capitalism.
I have no hand in this fight, but if "the invisible hand of the market"
isn't supernatural,. I do0n't know what is.
The error is to have faith in it.
Capitalists are still required to trust it,
of course; but in this time of enlightenment,
it's recognised as true that "market failure"
is a thing. But no one gets hurt, nobody who
matters, and after using public money to save
private enterprises that are too big to fail,
market forces are trusted to carry on from
where had been necessary to interrupt them.
