Capitalism isn't nice enough to use a fake smiley mask, last panel should it be wearing someones real, bloodied face that was obviously torn off their head.

No, no, see, you're talking about crony capitalism! Or corporatisim! Or monopolism! Or...

Real capitalism uses fake smiley masks.

Effective capitalism needs to be highly regulated. To the point where this picture would have the monster tied down in chains over a boulder while a serpent drips venom into its eye.

"You only hurt poor people by providing aid to them. If you want to help them, let them suffer on that sidewalk so they learn to help themselves!

Oh wait, that sidewalk is too close to my property, reducing its value. Have the ~~capital holder defense force~~ police destroy that box they're using for shelter, force them to go somewhere else, and then do nothing for them so they learn to help themselves.

I'm a humanitarian!"
