    I agree These systems both emerged from inherent humanity, not conspiracy.

      That would make sense for capitalism, if humanity didn’t have to have its permanent, essential characteristics beaten, traumatised and groomed out of them with land seizures, branding, whipping, workhouses, schools, prisons, debtors prisons, being forced to sell their children, slavery and the threat of homelessness and starvation for hundreds of years.

      People didn’t just accept either of those two systems and there’s nothing remotely inherent about them. They were both forced on people through violence or the threat of it.

        .They were both forced on people through violence or the threat of it.

        And so is revealed the violence inherent to the system.

      “inherent humanity” - what a magical term. you might have a magical worldview! which means you won’t even recognize this as an insult, which is sad, but a little funny.

        I can recognise nonsense when I see it, and viewpoints based on assumptions rather than evidence.
