I would say it is not just capitalism as it happens in other non capitalist societies too. It is corrupt governments/economic systems that who favour big money over protecting and fostering a healthy society. To their own detriment eventually.
you just described capitalism though.
literally, at its core, the idea that ownership is what provides value-not labor or the soil or whatever.
literally veneration of big money over everything else.
That is where I think a lot of people get it wrong…I am describing centralization and it takes many forms across many political and economic systems.
responding to what? I don't see how that follows.
You said I just described capitalism and I agree, but really am describing centralization of which capitalism is just only one of many centralized systems that lead to poor outcomes for society if not managed carefully. I see a lot of people blaming capitalism and point to other centralized systems as the solution when they are really just more of the same. People are greedy.
you're not wrong but thats a whole different...thing.
