    The entire concept of life itself is very capitalist — You have to exploit all resources available to you so you can survive and thrive. Only some species share resources — that too if they are in abundance for them.

    This is an incredibly inaccurate way to describe nature and you feed into narratives that capitalism is “natural” that stop us from thinking critically both about nature and humanity when you frame things in this way.

      Did I ever say capitalism is good? I am saying extreme ends of both economic systems are impossible if you want a free and thriving society.

        What you have accomplished is to introduce a completely arbitrary and reductive continuum and stated both ends are bad… so what?

        I don’t care either way what you think about capitalism, I am telling you to stop comparing capitalism to nature because it exposes that you clearly don’t know anything about nature.
