Capitalism can only create inequality, exploitation, classism, racism, sexism. And accumulated wealth for a few.

Is capitalism a necessary evil? Must we have 'the means of production' established, an immense worker class, and pissed off, exploited workers which will inevitably lead to socialism?

Shortcuts haven't worked? As nasty as it is, a little capitalism could lead to good things?

Is this the socialist dilemma today? "By any means necessary."
