    I know this is a troll account, but for the sake of other users reading this thread; capitalism is an inherently arc shaped economy. It does tend work at first, but it’s inherently unsustainable.

    Similar to the idea that if you smoke meth, you will get high, but you won’t stay high. Staying high requires more meth, more destruction of your body each time.

      Do not forget that stuff also worked out in the past because literally every capitalist country exploited the global south.

        Yeah this shouldn’t be overlooked.

        Another inherent trait of capitalism is that it thrives on and essentially requires some group to be exploited so another can profit. It’s an asymmetrical system by design.
