From a classical economics (1700s) perspective, yes. However in the 1800s economists, political scientists, and philosophers started seeing the division in how we as a society study economics and politics as separate entities as a mistake and started analyzing groups of people through the lens of how their economy and politics effected eachother. It is to the benefit, however, to the capital holding class to sustain the divide and to never engage with the idea that the structure of civilization as we know it fundamentally exists to create a tier-based class system in which a small number of people own everything and produce nothing, and a large class of people own nothing and produce everything
Nope. Marx already covered this. People are a product of their material reality. When people get desperate their morals can be warped. You give people what they need and want, crime drops. 99.9% of people just want to live their life in peace when given the option.
Do you not think you’re able to improve and do better by others? If you do, don’t you think others are human as well and can also do so? If you don’t, don’t you think you should be more ashamed about it?
This kind of misanthropy is either pointless doomerism or telling on yourself.
your political system is the problem
Forgive my ignorance: isn’t capitalism an economic system?

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
Right up until cronyism/lobbying
Humans are the problem

Google dialectical materialism.
