    You are privileged beyond belief. Capitalism is based on slavery and genocide coupled with the military industrial complex. It is fucked, nothing good about it

      Capitalism is based on slavery and genocide

      Feudalism is based on slavery and genocide. Capitalism is based on industrial development yielding a compounding rate of return.

      It is fucked, nothing good about it

      Its a historical stage of economic development every society ultimately passes through. Again, go back and read Das Kapital. Go pick up a copy of Piketty’s Capitalism in the 21st Century. Get a book on Lenin’s NEP or Dengism or the modernization of Castro’s Cuba. Even the most staunch leftist cannot escape the materialist need to industrialize.
