You own all the things. You know that this is because other people do all the work for you. In another country, you catch word that they took all the things from rich fucks like you and are trying to all work together to better their country. You’re afraid that the people who worked for all your stuff will hear of this and get ideas. You get the government to send the military to put a stop to that. Bonus, you can then also take some stuff in that country, getting you even more stuff.
Yeah, capitalism has an incentive to kill all other economic systems.
I know what you’re saying. The people at the top are just afraid of losing their shit, so they act on that fear rather than realizing that life would be better for them too. But that doesn’t make them not malicious, and should still be treated as adversaries. Because, never forget that for every 100 idiots, blinded by their own fear, there’s 1 asshole who knows exactly what they’re doing and will do anything to keep doing it.
I’d clarify it as people at the top are afraid of “undesirables” attaining anything similar to what they have, because then how can you easily show that they are, in fact, undesirable. But otherwise I agree with your post.
At some point the drive to amass wealth doesn’t have anything to do with your own wants and instead is all about making sure others can’t have any. Pulling up the ladder behind them, so to speak.
Is it capitalism or stupid people that kills it?
It’s capitalism.

That’s my point tho. It’s stupid people at every turn. Be it the rich or the workers or the government that doesn’t realize what they’re doing.

We can’t look at systems or people as stupid, all too complex.
My issue with capitalism is that eventually the rich purchase the very laws that reign them in.
What to do? Hell I know.
This is you raising your hand as exploitable 🌝
I wholeheartedly disagree. The negativity in your comment is far more exploitable, after all.
