There are plenty of capitalists out there that aren’t raving sociopaths bent on supporting an authoritarian government. Capitalism is just as likely the reason as bottled water consumption. It offers no diagnostic value here because it’s the default of most of the population.
there are exactly zero capitalists who won’t choose authoritarian governments they can purchase to help profits, instead of choosing to support working class people.
It’s actually only currently the most popular system, but it is not a human “default.” at all.
And there are exactly a non-zero number of Communists and socialists that will choose an authoritarian government. We have historical precedence for this.
That claiming that capitalism is the main source of their sociopathy is faulty despite plenty of sociopaths existing in non capitalist systems and that if their hypothesis was correct then the vast majority of people in capitalist would be these power mad sociopaths. Which, if true, would have collapsed society a long time ago.
Your first comment: “they are capitalists above all else”
I disagree. They are sociopaths first. They would be sociopaths in Stalin’s Russia or in Pol Pots killing fields. The economic system isn’t what dictates their love of dictators.
here’s the problem: they’re not women, or men, they are capitalists above all else. there is only profit to these fucking monsters.
