Why not? These billionaire capitalists don't force people to work for them nor do they force people to buy their products and services - but people do in large numbers. A sort of democratic vote against your submission. Are the people who don't buy into their products suffering in some way? Explain!

- door 9y agono individual capitalist forces someone to work, no, but the logic of the market necessarily leads to poverty and exploitation. the market is not democratic, those who control more wealth and capital necessarily have more power.
