It's not just capitalism. It's actually any society that is wholly reliant on subjugating individuals to produce goods and services for society.

- runawaybottle 6y agoPeople often gloss over the overwhelming theme in human history of work being extracted with ruthless optimization. The pyramids got built for free, so did America, that whole Serf system, kids used to work, Colonization, and I think there’s people half way across the world making things for a few cents an hour as we speak. If you want to know what’s happening, then just look at what already happened. War, technological advancement, and worker bondage are pocket aces you must to bet on when it comes to humanity.
