    Capitalism is fine enough if properly regulated. But that, of course, is the problem. Properly regulaing it.

      Capitalism will never be sufficiently regulated because the regulators will inevitably become corrupted by and subordinate to capital.

        That’s every system in a large society. The mistake we keep making is believing that systems can substitute for relationships and reputations at rooting out bad behaviour.

          There will always be corruption, yes. But we can advocate for a system that doesn’t center and reward the corruption the way capitalism does

            Any system that allows the formation of elites and the centralization of power will suffer the same fate.

              That’s why I’m an anarchist, but I also know that most people aren’t ready for that. That is why for now I’m only advocating for beheading the rich and powerful who are somehow all also pedophiles.

          Why would someone make a game with no dramatic tension? Oh yeah we used magic to turn the world into a utopia and nothing bad happened, the end.

      Except no its still bad to allow exploitation of people’s labor like that no matter how you try to lower the impact.
