    I think capitalism was a great and necessary thing to get humanity to it’s current post-scarcity state. As you said, production and innovation were really aided by capitalism in the early days of man, but now that we have all the shit we need to survive, all it does is deprive those without.

      I don’t see how capitalism deprives people of anything. Surely that’s a problem of wealth distribution, which is politics rather than economics.

      But otherwise agreed.
