Capitalism isn’t the inverse of communism

Yes it is. Capitalism has private ownership and unregulated markets, communism has public ownership and regulated markets. Both are two ends of an economic system spectrum.

The elite don't have rules regardless of the system in place. So what you're saying is pointless. No where on this planet are elite held to the same standards.

Yeah if you. Really think about it, the elite are the system. If all the rich people said "fck it we're leaving" then the economy would crash near instantaneously and there isn't really much the government can do. The government was supposed to prevent this, they didn't.
