In response to In response to 7


          

currency and labor existed long before capitalism. Capitalism is moreso a system that is constantly searching for expansion, and labor at the lowest price. Hiring a team of bodyguards to protect the wealthy and forcibly remove the people who can't afford to rent a home (Police).

capitalism unchecked (or free market, as the bootlickers call it) is buying politicians so the working class can't demand better compensation for their labor, or starting meaningless wars for oil and arms deals, literally drilling into the earth for money and ignoring the consequences. When you bled all you could from the domestic work force, you outsource and pay people even lower wages overseas.




or even simpler: racism/slavery is the foundation of the country and capitalism is the mcmansion they built on top of it.
