That is going to be an interesting discussion ๐
The thing I think is good in capitalism (but not tied to it) is decentralisation / locality.
There is no central authority to decide what is "produced", when, and in which quantities.
This enables experiments, adaption to needs without catastrophic failures if it doesn't work.
Monopolistic commercial conglomerates directly work against this
@realn2s Yes, I think itโs very good!
When you have several multinational, highly profitable corporations simultaneously conducting mass layoffs, I think it becomes clear that monopolies are failure states.
When you have capitalists taking advantage of discrepancies in fundamental human rights to create a market (e.g. cheap clothes made in terrible conditions), youโve got a failure condition.
I think the core issue is capitalism as religion.
