@canidaeportent @holot @0x00 @igel Pure capitalism would lead to chattel slavery if you go the extreme libertarianism route.
Capitalism has to be reined in and regulated. You can't do anything you want to build capital. We once let children 12 years old work in factories, allowed business to have black and white water fountains, allowed companies to pay people in non-legal tender/company store bucks ... capitalism only works with a well regulated system around it (and yes, even then it still has a lot of problems and corruption).
If the book Animal Farm teaches us anything, it's that all systems eventually lead to a group that convinces everyone else they should be the ruling class to help move them to a better future.

Lol, only thing that Animal Farm teaches is that the second you've started making your movement about your moral superiority over something else, you've started your downspiral into authoritarian shit.
