Surely you have some source you like. A Malcolm X speech or letter, a well-articulated column, something. I’m happy to read something about this, but if you’re not going to suggest anything, I’m going to Google it, randomly pick something off the first page that appears to be a decent source, and that’s what I’m reading, for better or worse.
Also just because Malcolm X said something doesn’t mean it’s an indisputable fact, whether you like that or not. Also some quick research tells me he was anti-capitalist, and not really for anything in general, but seemed to think socialism was worth a try.

He’s the best at burn it all down rhetoric, but it’d be great if there was some prose in there about what we’re supposed to replace it with and why. Like we’re all angry, we’re all frustrated by unregulated runaway capitalism. We can all rip it to shreds, we can all tell people why it’s a mess.
I’m interested in the solution. I’ll even settle for why the Nordic version of capitalism can’t work, which is a mixed model that’s something like 70-30 capitalism-socialism.
Same, I’m on good terms with most of my exes and very close friends with a couple of them. One key IMO is ending it as soon as you know it won’t work, thus not being an asshole and making the breakup not so messy.
