In some sense this is true. Maybe though, we should think of capitalism as natural laws instead of a belief system. Believing that descriptions of supply and demand are the end all of economic behavior is like believing magnetism is the only force in the universe.
- immibis 2y agoIn the sense that everything is a natural law. Mass genocide? Natural law. Populations always want to wipe out other populations to make room for expansion, and the most successfully genocidal survive and reproduce. That's just how evolution works. Is that the actual view you take of mass genocide, though, or do you think that we probably shouldn't do it? Same for capitalism. And by the way, capitalism isn't free markets. Capitalism is unfree markets, where the people who were born before you and got all the capital control what you can do in the markets. It's basically feudalism except where nobility titles are transferrable and have a dollar value.
