But the point of capitalism, a system where capital (ownership) is valued is centralizing. So if you let it do the entire central point of the thing it’s anti-democratic
You can’t create strong values and pervasive systemic imperatives to behave a certain way and then jyst arbitrarily switch on a dime. Thats not how human behavior or physics or literally anything besides fuvking magic works. That system will always crush the rules made to bind it, thats its nature, thats how it was designed and what i have been told its greatest virtue is. Expecting you can make it behave differently without a power differential so spectacular that this system cannot be a substantial factor in anything (like, a step or two on the kardashev scale) is clown shit, and nobody who thinks like that should be considered competent to operate heavy machinery (like cars) or consent to sex.
This is like saying cars are designed to go fast, people driving them want to go fast, the entire purpose of them is to go fast. Adding speed limits defeats their entire purpose.
If you believe systems always destroy themselves there is no hope for you because that isn’t the point. You will die someday, that isn’t the point. The point is to live.
If you’re going by capitalist purism like Milton Friedman we’re nothing even close to that.
Also: still evil, antidemocratic. Literally not compatible with democracy.
how is a completely free market incompatible with democracy?
