The best way to destroy capitalism is to not restrict it and let it run unfettered.
It will soon die.

Die and revert back to feudalism with a heriditary aristocracy. Just what these Teabagger asses desire.
</H3>Chapter XX: That Aristocracy May Be Engendered By Manufactures http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/DETOC/ch4_06.htm
As the conditions of men constituting the nation become more and more equal, the demand for manufactured commodities becomes more general and more extensive; and the cheapness which places these objects within the reach of slender fortunes becomes a great element of success. Hence there are every day more men of great opulence and education who devote their wealth and knowledge to manufactures; and who seek, by opening large establishments, and by a strict division of labor, to meet the fresh demands which are made on all sides. Thus, in proportion as the mass of the nation turns to democracy, that particular class which is engaged in manufactures becomes more aristocratic. Men grow more alike in the one more different in the other; and inequality increases in the less numerous class in the same ratio in which it decreases in the community. Hence it would appear, on searching to the bottom, that aristocracy should naturally spring out of the bosom of democracy.
But this kind of aristocracy by no means resembles those kinds which preceded it. It will be observed at once, that as it applies exclusively to manufactures and to some manufacturing callings, it is a monstrous exception in the general aspect of society. The small aristocratic societies which are formed by some manufacturers in the midst of the immense democracy of our age, contain, like the great aristocratic societies of former ages, some men who are very opulent, and a multitude who are wretchedly poor. The poor have few means of escaping from their condition and becoming rich; but the rich are constantly becoming poor, or they give up business when they have realized a fortune. Thus the elements of which the class of the poor is composed are fixed; but the elements of which the class of the rich is composed are not so. To say the truth, though there are rich men, the class of rich men does not exist; for these rich individuals have no feelings or purposes in common, no mutual traditions or mutual hopes; there are therefore members, but no body.
Not only are the rich not compactly united amongst themselves, but there is no real bond between them and the poor. Their relative position is not a permanent one; they are constantly drawn together or separated by their interests. The workman is generally dependent on the master, but not on any particular master; these two men meet in the factory, but know not each other elsewhere; and whilst they come into contact on one point, they stand very wide apart on all others. The manufacturer asks nothing of the workman but his labor; the workman expects nothing from him but his wages. The one contracts no obligation to protect, nor the other to defend; and they are not permanently connected either by habit or by duty. The aristocracy created by business rarely settles in the midst of the manufacturing population which it directs; the object is not to govern that population, but to use it. An aristocracy thus constituted can have no great hold upon those whom it employs; and even if it succeed in retaining them at one moment, they escape the next; it knows not how to will, and it cannot act. The territorial aristocracy of former ages was either bound by law, or thought itself bound by usage, to come to the relief of its serving-men, and to succor their distresses. But the manufacturing aristocracy of our age first impoverishes and debases the men who serve it, and then abandons them to be supported by the charity of the public. This is a natural consequence of what has been said before. Between the workmen and the master there are frequent relations, but no real partnership.
I am of opinion, upon the whole, that the manufacturing aristocracy which is growing up under our eyes is one of the harshest which ever existed in the world; but at the same time it is one of the most confined and least dangerous. Nevertheless the friends of democracy should keep their eyes anxiously fixed in this direction; for if ever a permanent inequality of conditions and aristocracy again penetrate into the world, it may be predicted that this is the channel by which they will enter.

My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.

Maybe funkadelic should be told about the use of their song in that fucvking hack piece of shit propaganda?
It being caplitalism and all they should be able to sue the shit out of whomever made this pack of lies.
You see the deceitful robbing mechanism to remove wealth in terms of power but also removal of wealth from capital generators....capital from the source.The best way to destroy the capitalistic system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, goverments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an unimportant part of their wealth as citzens.
Keynes meet with the Brentwoods system that gave wealth to the IMF and world bank.
Kaynes called the worlds currency the bancor.
Representing the US Brettonwoods was Harry Dexter White(CFR). Treasury Department Officials and close confidants of Keynes. White was investigated by the house commitee on unAmerican activities in 1948 for evidence showing him to be an agent.
Keynes memeber of the FABIAN SOCIETY,CAMBRIDGE SOCIETY AND BLOOMSBURY GROOP, whose membership include VICTOR ROTHENCHILD and BERTRAND RUSSELL.

this goes to show you how clueless you approach the problemThis stuff is really too stupid for comment. I once knew a murderer so thus I too am a murderer. How do we even know anything in the moronic piece is accurate. I have a Keynes book nearby, opens to page 162 and reads his assessment of Leninism, aka communism - you'd quickly find the YouTube is pure BS. But knowledge is missing in the conspiratorial mind.
Keynes compared communism to religion in it fervor to believe. One finds the same religious fervor today in market worshipers, freedom worshipers, and many libertarians.
Conspiracy though is built into the mind of the human animal, we tend to see what isn't there but need to as it helps explain the complicated. Book above linked below, and Oxford Shorts are excellent. See piece at bottom.

"The most fundamental problem with libertarianism is very simple: freedom, though a good thing, is simply not the only good thing in life. Simple physical security, which even a prisoner can possess, is not freedom, but one cannot live without it. Prosperity is connected to freedom, in that it makes us free to consume, but it is not the same thing, in that one can be rich but as unfree as a Victorian tycoon's wife. A family is in fact one of the least free things imaginable, as the emotional satisfactions of it derive from relations that we are either born into without choice or, once they are chosen, entail obligations that we cannot walk away from with ease or justice. But security, prosperity, and family are in fact the bulk of happiness for most real people and the principal issues that concern governments."

Good thing that NO ONE is advocating such a thing.The best way to destroy capitalism is to not restrict it and let it run unfettered.
It will soon die.
And this is horseshit as well. Inflation, in all areas that matter like food, has been terrible. No amount of charts is going to silence the stomachs of the hungry when they go to the supermarket. That is the inflation that matters. The cost of necessities.The best way to destroy the capitalistic system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, goverments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an unimportant part of their wealth as citzens.
If that's their plan, they're not doing very well. U.S. inflation has been rather low.
Current Inflation
